Trying to fit 2 MPG

Depending on the bob they might need pull-ups what bobs are they?

Well with that bob you will have to supply the bob with 12-24 v as well for the input pins to work

A 5V MPG won't be able to drive the inputs on that BOB directly. The inputs on those BOBs are rated at 12-24V.

If you could find a datasheet for the optos on the board, you'll probably find you could change or even bypass the series resistors on the board, so they'll work on 5V, however it would depend on the current needed to drive the optos, and how much current the MPG can deliver.

I am sorry but I have to disagree as I have a 5V mpg running on one of those boards

The boards are powered by a 24 volt power source but also have a 5 volt usb input . So clive are yours wired in any way diferent from mine.

You could of maybe mentioned that in your previous post

However, back to basics.
Is the MPG switching the inputs of the BOB (the voltage should switch every two notches of the MPG on each channel)?
Are the inputs shown on the diagnostic screen in Mach?

But does the ESS support MPGs?
I know the original USS had a dedicated MPG input, which they dropped for the ESS. However I've not paid much attention to what Warp9 have or have not added since I last had one several years ago.
