Should the velocity control PID loop over-ride the Default Accel, or, should the Default Accel always apply, even if the PID loop needs more than that much acceleration? For example, if Default Accel is set very low, e.g. 25000, and the input/commanded velocity changes from 0% to 100%, and velocity ...

Thanks to basicmicro's excellent phone support this issue was tracked down to a firmware problem. I updated firmware and everything started working!

I'm using a quadrature encoder https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cui-devices/AMT132Q-V/102-6645-ND/10269186 that has differential signals A+, A-, B+, B-. I wired A- and B- to ground on the roboclaw, and A+ and B+ to ENC1 A and B on the roboclaw. Configured for 48ppr. According to the spec sh...

I determined QPPS to be about 22500 for my motor. M1 Speed in motion studio is positive when I move the Motor1 control up (and speed is negative when I move the control down), so, I believe have the direction right. However, autotune doesn't work. Autotune makes very severe/rough forward and backwar...

Thanks!

To know the total power my motors are using in my Dual 60 roboclaw, should I multiply three values: Main Battery Voltage Level (interface data item #24) x the Motor PWM values (#48) x Motor Currents (#49), or, just two: Main Battery Voltage Level (#24) x Motor Currents (#49) In other words, are the ...
