I'm sure I'm gonna beat a dead horse here... I did a search and found a bit about treadmill motors and whatnot, but not enough specific info to get me running.
I was given a treadmill. It's in fine working condition. If my wife had her way, I'd use it for running and lose weight, buuuuuuut, I'm gonna put it on my lathe. Which will be good cause the bearings are shot in my 1hp lathe motor.
Soo, here are some pictures and info... Where do I even begin to have a simple on off switch, forward reverse, and speed control.
It's a horizon ct9.3, the reviews state it's HIGHLY overpriced. Sweet. Lol.

This is a picture of the cable from the control pad to the motor controller. There is also a lift motor wired into the DC controller.

I'm not opposed to scrapping this controller for something reasonably priced and easier to use. However, I don't see any digital signal stuff, like a serial cable. It seems there should be enough here to get some level of control.
