MM2, 3 - Losing set? Cranken?

On the directional switch, I meant the two left-most connections showing in your diagram (I presume that's what the black circles are, on that directional toggle switch since there's 6 connections on the switch and 6 circles on your diagram), one on A1, and one on A2.

The black circles really just symbolize the switches, but yes, there is one terminal per circle. The 2 on the left are the center terminals on the switch, referred to as the commons, since they connect to the 2 poles of each switch. Just wire those to A1 & A2.

If you get the switch in hand and then measure the connections with an Ohmmeter with the switch in both positions, it should become clear to you. If it's not already obvious, the middle position for the switch leaves everything disconnected (e.g., OFF).

Crossed in the mail. You've been tremendously helpful, cbier. Thanks for the patience.

Yeah, I thought I was going crazy, like I hadn't read your whole response. But then I realized that I had quoted you, and it wasn't all there. That little video definitely makes it clear (I hope). Good luck. Can't wait to see it once you get it all done. I feel like a proud Mama.

I've yet to find the cabinet I want to use (easily a dozen that would work, from our local HfH), just wanted to wire it up. I'll need to raise the mill some, as you can see.

I didn't blow up. To the right is the main on-off toggle, center is the Pot (I have the dial and plate), closest to view is DPDT/polarity switch. Put it through it's paces, and it performs beautifully.

Thanks all, in particular cbier. Learned quite a bit.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow USA'ns. Happy, every other brewer here!

Glad you got it all figured out. That Bud box looks good. I assume the KBWD16 is inside. Looking forward to seeing it once you get it all mounted.

Yep, the controller is inside. Learned some things there, too - working in tight spaces, never done this. Just pretty rewarding to see the thing go, respond to the pot and fwd/rev like a champ. Probably get the cabinet on Monday and finish it up. Thanks again!
