    Default Adding dimming wires to 60/48

    I got some of these form a dealer. They are 60/48's with the dim feature on the board but not connections to them yet. Is there a way to add this? Do you need a pic of the board to see what I am talking about?

    Sorry Mike. You are SOL on this one. In addition to not including the wires for dimming, there are a bunch of components on the pcb that are not populated. Best thing I can suggest is pass it off to someone looking for non-dimmable drivers and pick up the right ones. The dimming control on the board is not for dimming per se, but for setting the maximum drive current. It's intended to be a "set it and forget it" feature, as the pot used is not the most robust.
