Move Motor Past Homing Switch

[johnRHR]

Hi,

I am using the RoboClaw 2x30A with homing and quadrature encoders and I am commanding it via packet serial using the provided arduino library. I am running into an issue where I am unable to command the motor to move past the homing switch in the negative direction. Whenever I tell the motor to move to a negative position, it stops as soon as it hits the homing switch. Is there a way around this?

The homing switch is working exactly as it is supposed to. Then the switch is triggered it zeros the encoder count for that motor and stops the motor. If you need to move past the switch in reverse(negative direction) you will need to disable the switch using a packet serial command. Email support@basicmicro.com and we'll help you with that part.

Oh so I just need to reconfigure after the motor has homed? Thanks!

Correct.
