denstep card (from swap)-atc
I only see half of the denstep card and half of the nextstep terminal blocks, does anyone have the upper side of the denstep and the lowerside of the nextstep? I am looking for specifically how the speed/feed pots are set up

Both bottom cards are the same so use the same connections.

thanks martin,
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but the "control voltage" on the machine tags just refers to the component voltage outputs, not the operating voltage of the the control card itself, correct?

Thanks for the schematics, i am currently trying to build a new set of electronics for my novaturn as none came with it. I am looking at the spindle drive and the encoder feedback does anyone have any ideas about the missing page 4? Is the encoder feedback converted into a tacho signal?

Have a look at the info for the Starturn 5 I think its the same 'british encoder' I looked into it a while ago as i am converting my ST5 to Novaturn control
