Re: I would like to Sync 2 motors from Arduino commands

I went into tuning, and improved it a bit, added more P and more I. Works a lot better, I guess it needs power to keep up the task.

It still not moving like is a one assembly but, good enough for now. Finally there are no 2 soldiers that walk in perfect cadence.

Great product , the roboclaw.

The latest update does not work 4.1.26

I had to update from 4.1.24 to 4.1.26 on my roboclaws and it all seemed fine. Than I re-entered all the settings but the controller wont move. I got the M1OC and M2OC ligts red, but there is no current going to the motors. The sliders wont move any thing. I got the M1 Max current set at 4A, same for...

Re: I would like to Sync 2 motors from Arduino commands

thanks a lot for the clarifications. The syntax worked, here it is for other users: I replaced: roboclaw130.SpeedAccelDeccelPositionM1(adr130, 6000, 30000, 0, HorizGrip, 1); //Vertical Rot roboclaw130.SpeedAccelDeccelPositionM2(adr130, 6000, 30000, 0, HorizGrip, 1); //Hor Rotation of grip with one l...

Re: I would like to Sync 2 motors from Arduino commands

Thanks for the timely reply. I tried: roboclaw130.SpeedAccelDeccelPositionMixed(adr130, 6000, 30000, 0, 70000, 1); going to roboclaw130.SpeedAccelDeccelPositionMixed (adr130, 6000, 30000, 0, 90000, 1); and it does not compile. I got: class RoboClaw' has no member named 'SpeedAccelDeccelPositionMixed...

I would like to Sync 2 motors from Arduino commands

I am using the roboclaw 15A version, great product by the way. In ION Studio, I am able to click the Sync box and move the motors in sync. I dont need that feature all the time. I would like to be able to do it from the Arduino IDE commands; Now I am using: roboclaw130.SpeedAccelDeccelPositionM2(adr...

Re: Trying to control 3 motors with packet serial

OK I simplified to two motors and it works. The issues: 1. The motor does not come back to the place (number of pulses ) it came from. Hundreds of pulses apart. I though if it is a PID, it wont stop till the error is 0. Might be slow or overshoot, but it should get there. 2. How do I read the existi...

Re: Speed control using pushbutons

I am also using a keypad to start stop the motors.

Here is a really good article on it.

Trying to control 3 motors with packet serial

I was succesfull in moving all 3 a bit, so I'm pretty sure the hardware works. I have done all the PID setup for each of the 2 robotclaws. Now the base motor only goes fwd and not coming back. the rest the same, they behave erratically... I am new at this, please help. I am using a teensy 3.6 here i...
