Hi,
I am trying to activate an old robot (WhiteBoxRobotics 914 PC-BOT) as part of a lab project I am doing, and it is activated by two M2-ATX power supplies.
The robot had two old ones (probably from around 2006-7), and they had a problem of only outputting 12V without outputting 5V (which is needed for some of the robot's features), as shown in image 1.
I bought a new pair of M2-ATXs and connected it the exact same way as the old ones, where one of them (the main one, left in the image) is connected in mode P1 (where a single jumper is connected in the A port) and the other one is working in PSU mode (no jumpers at all), as shown in image 2.
When I tried to use the robot the same way as before, the PSU one did not seem to output any current at all.
As shown in mini-box's website (the company that manufactures it) they updated the way PSU mode works in 2008~, and featured a UPS mode.
I am a computer science student and not engineering student, I have no experience with electronics what so ever.
Please help on making the PSU mode work as it should, outputting 12V and 5V.
Thanks!
I tried to upload the images directly but failed, so I am linking it:
