Re: Roboclaw brushless equivalent

That's great news!
What would be the encoder input? 3-phase Hall sensors? Quadrature encoders ? Both?

Roboclaw brushless equivalent

Hello,
We are very happy with the level of functionality of our dual roboclaw controller (for a mobile robot application). We are considering switching to brushless motors for a new application.
Are you planning to extend your range of product to brusless controllers? Do you know any equivalent ?
Best

E-stop deceleration

Hi, Sorry if my question is already answered somewhere. I am trying to understand what deceleration value is applied when using the e-stop function. I think it is braking by default? Is there a way to control that behavior, even roughly, through current limitation for instance? Or is there a setting...

Re: Serial Communications problem using Linux Kernel 4.10 and 4.12

Thanks for sharing.
I will wait a bit and if you don't report an issue with your solution i will use it. I already have several machine which updated automatically to the next kernel and it starts to be a real issue in our case.

Re: Serial Communications problem using Linux Kernel 4.10 and 4.12

I am very limited in time right now, but I am definitely interested if you start working in this direction?

Re: Losing communication with Roboclaw,TTL serial and Raspberry PI

@IMC Support: Now that the issue is confirmed by at least 2 persons, shouldn't the title of the topic be changed to something like "Linux kernel 4.10 and above breaks roboclaw python library" ?

Re: Packet Serial Read Loop

@robof: thanks for the details. A temporary fix that I am using is to stay with kernel 4.4 or 4.8 (default for Ubuntu 16.04.1 ad 16.04.2). You can choose which kernel to boot by default with grub customizer.

Re: Losing communication with Roboclaw,TTL serial and Raspberry PI

Failed also with 0.1 delay.
When I will have more time I will check in the library where to add delay between self._port.write(chr(command)) calls. And test.

Re: Packet Serial Read Loop

@robof: I am trying to debug a similar issue here in case you want to participate: http://forums.ionmc.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 5&start=10
Which kernel are you using? (can you paste the output of a console call to "uname -r" ?)
