Walter Driver v1
User Guide
The WALTER DRIVER allows to connect and control 16 PWM toys. This board connects to
the Dude's Cab Board.
You can add up to 8 WALTER to a Dude's Cab to control a total of 128 DOF PWM toys.
Each WALTER DRIVER unique address can be set by the dip switches
This board can connect via wires on the terminal screws or by using the JST-PH ribbon
cable.
NEVER USE the WALTER DRIVER alone. It must be connected to one of the following
boards ( MOS8, MOS4, Minimos4 or MOSLIGHT )
This board needs to be connected to a 12V power.
The system can only control DC voltage toys, it does not support AC voltages.
WARNING ! This board is not compatible with the KL25Z or the Pinscape
software

MOS8, MOS4, MOSLIGHT ou Minimos The MOS8 et MOS4 Have 8 & 4 outputs allowing you to control up to 8 toys 8 Amps. The Minimos4 board has 4 outputs allowing you to control up to 4 toys 1 Amp.
- Page 5 You must use a dedicated power supply to power up the boards, don’t use your computer power supply. Wiring Specs : The 12V + to power up the boards must be at least AWG28 The GND connecting to the WALTER DRIVER must be at least AWG26 Don’t hesitate to use a bigger gauge wire for your GND ( 18-16-14 AWG ) The wires connecting the WALTER and the MOS boards must have a minimum of AWG28 ( This is a signal wire )
- Page 6 ( The white bar of the diode connects to the V+ side and the other side of the diode connects to the negative of your toy. ) If a Motor creates interference with your setting, you can install a 1000µF capacitor or a Nettoyeuse.
