Trackmate setup

Postby Colsanders1955 » Thu Feb 07, 2019 6:04 pm

Hey folks. I have gotten my old Trackmate setup I bought from the Professor years ago that works with an old Gateway XP PC. I've dusted off the stuff, installed everything but the two power supplies (wall warts) for the main TM board and the infrared sensors have been pillaged by the kids. I just need to know the output voltages on these. I think from studying the old TM diagrams online the TM board wants 9 volts. I also think the sensors themselves want 5 volts. Just want to be sure so I don't ruin something by plugging in the wrong stuff (since Radio Shack went out local access on these IR components is non-existent). Thanks sincerely,

The Colonel

According to the TM website the older interface units used a 9 volt power supply and the newer ones use a 12 volt supply. Mine has a red board and that takes a 12 volt supply. It might be best to inquire directly with Trackmate.
