Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Hi, Is there a way to force a speed limit on a Roboclaw through Motion Studio? I have a motor installed on my system but I want to cap its speed at a value way lower than its QPPS and force it there so other users/developers that come after me may not mistakenly run that particular motor at a higher...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

I am using the motion studio ha ha, sorry. A quick question about the setup (as I am still trying to work on this over current issue that I am having) When you set up the max currents on motion studio, do you enter 30A or 60A as MAX CURRENT values? By default, they show up as 30A on each channel but...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Let me ask you this: When I look at the current readings on ION MOTION and see that the current is say 5A while my motor is running. what happens then between the battery and the roboclaw? by that I mean what level of current is present there. Now same question but with a current spike that is highe...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

quick question here: I want to make circuit schematics of my system. you have IGES files but I would like a 2D view to insert in the schematic rather than a 3D object (I am using AutoDESK eagle for the deed...). Is there any file schema you recommend I use to do a conversion?
Thanks!

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Also, what would I gain from plugging in a logic battery?

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Could I use forwrard/home limiter to override the min max position of my motor/actuator? How long would you say that a communication cable be? what I mean by that is: I have S1 (pull-up) connected to two S2... could one of these S2 (and its communication back to the master unit) be up to three meter...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Yes, I am using switches. Basically making the motors travel back until they hit home and then refresh. I haven't thought too much about current limits or hard stop but I could look into that, as I have two actuators that do not have a switch stop. I was thinking about sending them backwards a dista...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

I was able to fix it. In the end the CAD tool I am using could not take in IGES but I only needed a "black box" so I made a quick drawing to show electrical wiring. Now, I am almost done. If I have not explained before, I am making a glider drone LAUNCHER. So basically a automated arm with...

Re: Using 3 roboclaw, packet serial, USB

Now that I have everything working like I want it (and a huge thank you to BASICMICRO staff) I need to leave some schematics behind. Would you be able to provide me with a .cmp file? I am using KiCad to render the drawing and I do not need something with too much detail but something where I could l...
