Is the brake something like an FET brake or is it a shorting contact connected to a pot?

[CARSHouston]

Where is this controller made?

[mreibman]

Is the USB cable hardwired or does it have a modular plug inside the handle?

[Roger Schmitt]

its a FET brake circuit 

 

the cable is a standard USB cable

 

Assembled here in Buffalo Grove

Roger, can you expand on the “Response Curve Knob”?

 

It says in the description that it can go from linear to curved “as shown below”. But I’m seeing anything about that in your post. Thanks!

Third Eye Hitman controller's braking is not linear as adjustments are made to the setting.  A change in the setting from around 4 to 3 1/2 results in a dramatic change in the amount of braking.  

 

Since your controller appears to use the same technology, does it have that same issue?

Looks a lot like one of the Slot-it controllers I use to have.

the controller does NOT use the same technology as 3rd eye hitman. We use a PWM circuit to control the brake fet, giving you a wide range ofbrake control without sudden drop offs or spikes.

Good to hear.

[Eddie Fleming]

Sounds good Roger. Is the power side PWM as well?

 

It sounds like a interesting controller at a good price. I am sure we will soon hear what people think when they get one in there hands.

Is the trigger pull comparable to the third eye? That is a very Important factor for me as I am looking for my next unit and a difalco just is not comfortable.

i have just bought one of these controllers, is there a hook type attachment that can be bought so it can hook onto the track like the difalco controllers have or similar.

 

I am on the other side of the world in Australia.

 

Thinking maybe just putting a long bolt and some nuts through the eyelet on the modules corner and sit that in the controller hanger on the track.
