Hobart CyberTig foot pedal problems

wrote: I have this Hobart CyberTig: http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Weld...berTig-Welder/ It has two Amphenol connectors, the big fat one for pendant and a 10 pin one for foot pedal. I bought a 10 pin foot pedal off ebay. Unfortunately, both the foot pedal as well as my connector on the welder, were male. I bought a 10 pin Amphenol socket, wrote down the current pinout, and unsoldered old plug and re-soldered the wires to the new socket. I wrote down the exact pinout, etc etc. I double checked things numerous times. The trouble is that the pedal seems to have no effect whatsoever. The valves do not "click", etc. Before I go on an all out troubleshooting effort, perhaps someone could point out something obvious that I am missing. I can supply pictures of the pedal or the welder etc. From a quick look at the schematics in your manual it looks like that 10 pin connector isn't for the remote control. Based on what I found there it's for a special "dabber" torch (what ever that is). Wayne Cook Shamrock, TX http://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook/index.htm |

Do you think that I can fit that pedal to the 19 pin pendant connector? (either by re-soldering or getting a new connector, I would prefer the latter to keep the pendant 100% functional) I'm sure it can be done but my quick browse through the manual showed me that you might not manage to get all of the features available on that plug to work.
