Re: Minimum Logic Battery Voltage

2. LB/MB pins are on older boards. The next sentence after the quote you posted says that on newer boards there is no LB/MB pins and the logic battery is automatically selected when used. I noticed this on some newer boards I just got, and figured I'd revive the old topic.... The automatic selectio...

M1 Spins During Firmware Update

FYI, I noticed when updating my firmware to the latest version (on 2017-10-27) that M1 briefly spun while updating firmware over USB. It was just ~1-2 seconds, but was somewhat surprising. Happened on each of the 2x RoboClaw 2x7A (or maybe they were 2x5A) I updated. It wasn't a big deal on the setup...

USB Multi-Unit Capability

I saw mention of multi-unit USB capability (passthrough) on this thread . Would this work with more than 2 RoboClaws? I would think so, but wanted to make sure. I have 4 RoboClaws that I'd like to control from a single USB -- I take it that I'd wire the USB RoboClaw's S2 to all the others' S1, and t...

Re: Minimum Logic Battery Voltage

To add a little more mystery to this, I borrowed some relatively new RoboClaw 2x7As to test out, and they behave fine with 5V supplied to one of the servo headers. This could indicate a problem with the older Roboclaw(s) you have. I sugegst you send one in so we can look it over and wire it up the ...

Re: Minimum Logic Battery Voltage

Reviving an old topic here with the same issue. Last time I just ended up using the RoboClaws that did not give the low battery error, but now I only have ones that do show the error. The setup is the same as before, only running 4.1.16 firmware now. I tried a pulldown resistor on the LB+ pin to gro...

Re: unable to install ion motion software

Sorry to be annoying, but just installed the Ion Motion software on a new computer and noticed that it still has this requirement.

Group Commands

This is something of a feature request/discussion. Have you considered adding in group commands to the packet serial command set? This is a feature of some other motor controllers I have used that can be useful. It would be implemented by giving each controller a group address in addition to its reg...

Just tried to install the software on a different machine and noticed that it still has this requirement, FYI.
