We had some problems with ftp on our downloads server so it took a little longer than expected. The new Ion Studio software(note we renamed the app for less confusion) with the 4.1.21 firmware will be available in the downloads section or in each product page later today. The older Ion Motion applic...

I said 2048 because that will cover both analog and digital inputs. Analog inputs will have a value of around 3471 for a 5v input(the Analog input signal range is 0v to 5.9v mapped to 0 to 4095). While digital inputs will have a value of 4095 for any high signal. 2048 is the middle point of any Anal...

I'll lookinto this today. Can you post your MCL code so I can see what you are currently doing?

3. You have to be using encoders and have tuned the PID settings to use the position command. Specifically you are looking to use M1AccelSpeedDeccelPosition, M2AccelSpeedDeccelPosition or MixedAccelSpeedDeccelPosition commands if you have tuned the position PID. If you are using velocity only contro...

1. The packetserialbareminimum example shows how to use a hardware serial port instead of the software serial port. If you are still unsure how to do it please call or email support@ionmc.com 2, This is a programming problem(eg a problem writing the code to the Arduino) and has nothing to do with th...

I have some more testing to do on the updated driver. I expect to have something you can download later next week. Eventually I want to get the github updated with the changes.

Please email support@ionmc.com. They will be able to give you a tested example that shows how to do this.

2x15a has the same idle draw as the 2x30a. Let me know if you need any more information.

When idle(not driving the motors) the Roboclaw has a power draw of around 45ma(tested using an 2x30A unit). If you want to know the exact amount please let me know what model you are looking at. There is currently no lower power draw setting than this. This is not including any external devices powe...

We dont have any plans to go beyond 2 on a single board at the moment. The Roboclaws can be setup to all run from a single serial port or they can be connected to a master Roboclaw using the S1/S2 pins and the master is then controlled from the USB port.
