Hello to all, I have browsed many forums in the past 2 days before finding this one. I have a friend that is wheelchair bound and has a problem with his shooting aid. It is a chair mounted shooting rest with three functions; elevation, rotation and trigger control. He had someone look at it a few years ago and they "moved some wires around", there are no schematics and barely legible print on the relays. The company that made it is long out of business and a replacement is over $1800, which is far out of my friends budget. I'm hoping to get some ideas and thoughts on replacing or troubleshooting the controls for it. I have tested the motor, solenoid and linear actuator and they all function when directly powered. The trigger control is the only function that works currently; there was a broken ground wire on the power connection. I'm assuming that this was the problem all along, but then the wires got moved around and I have no idea which wires in the mess of spagetti that it was.
I lost my first edition of this post due to pop-ups, so I'm probably leaving some things out due to my frustration level right now....
Here are some pics to give a little bit of a visual; the control boxes are crammed tight with the relay boards and wiring. Hoping to find a solution that would clean this up a bit. I can provide more pics and any component data as needed. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
