Re: Reading current with Roboclaw
Thanks again for taking the time to write a thorough reply. The stall current rating is approximately 30 amps. It is a 24 V motor. The load is constant (mass being lifted). I need to read the current, so that I can set it to cut off if a given mass (load) is exceeded. I will try and look into the Si...

Re: Reading current with Roboclaw
Hi, Thanks so much for you very quick and thorough reply. In regard to what you said: The clamp is approved for DC. I am very certain of the amps I should be reading in this test case, since it is an industrial application and we have sold thousands of these units with other controllers. So the set ...

Re: Reading current with Roboclaw
Hi, Thanks for the answer, I updated the firmware/arduino library and it now works. Was using the old 8-bit version. However, the actual Amp reading seem rather high, compared to what I get on my current clamp and old motor controller (other brand). For an example, I read approximately 14 A on the c...

Reading current with Roboclaw
Hi, I am new to using Roboclaw and Arduino and I am having some trouble reading the current using the ReadCurrents command. So far I have got: #include "BMSerial.h" #include "RoboClaw.h" #define address 0x80 BMSerial terminalSerial(0,1); RoboClaw roboclaw(5,6); uint8_t currentFro...
