Re: [Solved] Commands 65, 66, 67 seem hobbled.

It does look like we can call this solved. It would, however, have saved me an enormous amount of time and effort if that little fact had been made a LOT clearer up front. The values 1024 and 65536 do not appear in the revision 5 manual, and do not appear in the forum notes except in this thread in ...

Re: Commands 65, 66, 67 seem hobbled.

Appears I had the PID values for Position in PID order instead of DPI that should be used for command 61,62. Again some notes from my log. We ARE getting somewhere now but read to the end for the result! Now I seem to have the 4.88281 value showing up in the Position-P fields. Position-I and Positio...

Re: Commands 65, 66, 67 seem hobbled.

Hi acidtech Very quick reply as I have to get to work. I use my own code, it is all in the sequence PID --oops I see the manual is DPI. WILL change that and test later. How confusing is that?! Not really practical to send you code as my system parses a command structure that manages all of roboclaws...

Re: Commands 65, 66, 67,61,62 seem hobbled.

Hi acidtech - got something here for you to have a look into . I have cut and pasted a part of my debug log on this project and I think that I have narrowed the field down to only five haystacks .er commands! that are linked in their functions and their problems. Current situation is that I now see...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.

Looking like commands 61 and 62 for setting positioning PID, also associated with positioning, are not working for me. Refusing to be accepted actually, and I seem now to have 67 not being accepted as well. Sample command code for command 61 - use version without spaces or use realterm version below...

'acidtech' will be assisting with this issue soon. Perhaps you could prepare some info about -exactly- what your sett...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.

I'll follow your lead here. - I think you are right with your comment "it is outside of the data". - How the data is sent is using my Visual Basic 5 interpreter/compiler which uses MSComm32.ocx the normal comms interface for that program and many others. I never had any issues with output ...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.

Well that lasted all of a few seconds and I may have been mistaken as to command. In all I have done a great deal of analysis and head scratching and still these commands will not work for me. I now believe that the issue has to lie somewhere in RoboClaw. There may be a speed or timeout issue which ...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.

Lots more homework then I found that it will work provided I do not set the buffer flag. Hmmm First time I got around to removing the buffer flag because I wanted to use the buffering facility. Thinking. Is this coded out now? But then the example you tested for me had the flag set and that worked f...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.

Thank you for doing that test. It seems that my code is producing useful command data since it worked for you. And it is helpful to note that commands 65, 66 and 67 in the current manual have the heading "65 - Buffered Drive M1 with signed Speed, Accel, Deccel and Position" etc indicating ...
