I have a JayGee controller and is in need of some work. The contact info that I have does not work. Does anyone know how to get in contact with the JayGee people?

I am guessing that Mid-America raceway would be your best source of help.

Last I heard from him, he was near St Louis... racing 1/32 club.

 

Which model? First gen, I have some experience; last generation/surface mount - good luck!

I'm back on the grid... sort of. I started a new job in St. Louis earlier this year, am in the process of relocating from Wisconsin, and will be getting married at the end of the month.

 

Oh yes, I do get to play with slot cars a bit when I don't have an airline seat strapped to my rear.

 

I'm not producing controllers anymore but still may be able to help, depending on controller model and my travel schedule. I sent you a PM with my contact into.

Hi Jeff

 

I am hoping you don't mind helping me with a "blonde" question, despite being out of controllers.

 

I took my 200 board and bits out of the controller carcass when I ran in to intermittent braking problem, only to discover when I built in a transistor board for myself in to the carcass a year later that the braking thing had been mechanical and not the 200 unit itself, so sorted that accordingly

 

I then wanted to plug the 200 unit back in to another frame/case but was concerned about whether there is another other connection from the 200 unit to the frame brake/wiper/contacts,over and above the single main USB connection?

 

I see a rail running from the throttle area of the board to the bottom of the board, which looks like it may have been soldered to something like maybe an insulated wiper arm and I would hate to take a chance and pop the unit, I really liked its feel for one of the classes of cars I ran.

 

Kind regards

Dave

Hi Jeff

 

I may be part way there, some online pics show only the usb cable going to the controller and I assume the brake and fully throttle stops connect through the board to board bolts, so I then probably closer on the guess that the rail I see running from the throttle area on the board goes directly to the wiper arm?

 

Kind regards

Dave,
 
All the connections from the wiper board to the transistor module run through the USB cable. The wiper arm isn't insulated since there is no physical connection between the wiper and motor (black) controller lead. When producing the controller I connected the wiper arm directly to the PCB with a round eyelet terminal on the wiper arm retaining screw.
 
BTW, while at a meeting this week in Cleveland I learned a sister company of mine is looking for a mechanical and/or electrical engineer. They build encoders and motor drives so if anyone is looking, send me a PM.
