Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi,

Please try running the controller in the bridged mode since that is how I was running it when it failed. I'd like to use bridged mode if it is reliable since that should double current handling capability of the controller.

Thanks

Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. Can you possibly test the setup with your Solo 60 controller? If it works well I'd like to purchase one for additional testing since it seems like one of the best options from you.

Thanks

Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi, Thanks a lot for testing the motor and controller setup that I sent you. Our application requires us to run the motor up to 6500 rpm (887467 pps with our quadrature encoder) outside in high heat (up to 110 deg F). We typically run about 25-30 tests about 10 minutes in duration each with 2-5 minu...

Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi, Yes I was using automotive type fuse but I will do some research on faster acting fuse with appropriate rating. Do you at all recommend any type of breakers or are they inherently too slow. I also shipped all the requested supplies and you will hopefully receive the box on Friday. I also include...

Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi,

I did have a 20A fuse in the circuit which blew at some point but I should have sized it more conservatively. I will ship you all the equipment you requested today. Thanks a lot for being willing to take a look at this.

Re: Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Thanks for your feedback and I tried the following: 1. I ordered and received your 2X30A controller from Pololu robotics 2. Configured it the same way as 2X15A contoller (default settings, except for single channel mode); saved settings 3. Tested basic functionality in Ion Studio and it worked well....

Roboclaw 2X15 getting too hot in PID mode

Hi, I am using the RoboClaw model 2X15 to control speed of DC motor rated at 24V and 1/3 hp (250Watts or about 10A full load current). The motor is rotating a metal ring that has significant angular momentum but still at full speed of around 7000rpm motor is using below 10A (it is actually just arou...

Using Teensy 3.2 or Teensy 3.6 with RoboClaw Arduino Library

Hi, Previously I tested my RoboClaw 2X15 with Arduino Uno and your Arduino RoboClaw library and it all worked very well. I would prefer using the Teensy 3.2 or Teensy 3.6 to control my motor via the RoboClaw board and I wonder if you know if your Arduino library will work with those microcontrollers...

Problem running Ion Studio on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi, I downloaded and started to install Ion Studio then it downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2013 libraries, and finished installing Ion Studio and there were no funny error messages along the way. I clicked on the Ion Studio shortcut on my Desktop and got "Lunching Application" window a...
