Robogames are in ten days. I'm not changing anything right now

Also the integral is leaky Oh, that's great! I seem to recall asking about this a few years ago, and at the time, the wind-up was described as a counter with a fixed maximum value. I personally really like leaky integrators! I can't use auto-tune, because this is on a smallish rover (16"x16&qu...

4.1.6

I think latest is 4.1.16. It works with command 78 for me.

I am driving motors with some amount of friction, which means that to get to the desired velocity, a bit of I in the PID would be ideal. However, I also see the problem that, after I command the controllers to stop, they roll backwards a little bit because of the wind-up in the I controller. My curr...

When running multiple RoboClaws on a bus, and wanting a reasonably high status update rate, it would be convenient if there was a command that would return all the "pertinent" status information. Something like: GET_ALL_STATUS: return: M1 status bits (4B) M2 status bits (4B) ENC1 position ...

That sounds like a great policy!
I'm in NorCal, so hopefully the mail will be fast.

My point was: Make sure there's a battery connected when plugging into USB. Nothing in this thread suggested that this step was actually taken in troubleshooting. As in: USB only won't power the RoboClaw enough to talk to it. I think we're saying the same thing, though

there is currently no automatic motor stop on a timeout in packet serial mode Isn't it possible to use the "drive distance at velocity" command? If you make the distance slightly further than you intend to go in the next command interval, and then overwrite that buffered command with a ne...

I've had issues where I have to separately power a RoboClaw in order for the USB to talk to it correctly.
Might be worth a try.

Alright. Where do I make arrangements for that? support@ionmc.com ?
