  Hello.

  Have anyone had the field output of WS500 fail? Spesific the V1.0 board.

  Of so, what was the fix? 

   

  Field output at 100% gives an steady 11V out unloaded (13.2V in), but when you put some load to it it goes to 0V.

  Thanks.

   

   

   

  Thanks.

  I have seen that a few times.  I recall Bill talking about beefing up the circuit in the next version.  If there is not any PCB damage and you have a surface mount soldering kit you may be able to swap out the components.  Bill at Wakespeed may be able to help you identify what needs to be changed.  I may even have a spare 1.0 board around the shop I could send you if you cover the shipping.
