Having gotten myself a Fibo, and not wanting to buy another positioner I have set about modding my Jager Superjack V-Box to give a 5v output for the optical sensor.
Quite easy really, just popped into Maplins to get the bits, under a fiver !
Soldered them together and bingo, 5v output. I took 24v from the r30 resistor to feed the voltage regulator, which drops the voltage down to 5v.
Definatley beats buying a new positioner, so thought others might find it useful.
