Re: RoboClaw 2x15A RC control inactive

1. Make sure the firmware is up to date using IonMotion 2. Does the problem happen if you power up the Roboclaw and the connect the RC receiver? 3. Are you powering the RC receiver from the Roboclaw or seperately? If seperately are you only connecting GND and the signal wires from the receiver to th...

Re: The encoder data format were wrong (RoboClaw 2x30A Motor Controller)

What firmware version is on your Roboclaw Are you using USB or TTL Serial? What are you using to talk to the Roboclaw(A PC(windows or linux), an arduino, an R-Pi, something else)? Are you using one of our libraries? How do you have the board wired up(everything wired to it and model/manufacturer inf...

Re: Roboclaw 2x15A with Labview?

First are you using LabView 2015 or newer? The instrument driver for Roboclaw was written and tested with LabView 2015. Can you connect to and control the Roboclaw claw through IonMotion on the same PC you are using LabView on? In the instrument driver there is a VI for opening the Roboclaw. You sho...

Re: BEC 5 volt power

Yes. Those pins(the 5v pins) are already connected together through a large trace in the PCB as well.

Re: using S3 & S4 as home switches

Im assuming you have the signals set to Home(user). This means you have to manually move the motors till they trigger the home switched after power up. To do this you just use any movement commands you want to. if you use a Distance command just make sure you give a distance that is gaurunteed to ge...

Re: RobotClaw 2x15A 2 motors not running simultaneously

What control mode are you using to run the motors? PWM, Velocity or Position control? If you are using Velocity or Position control, please test the M2 channel using PWM control. Also make sure you have not checked the Sync Motor checkbox in IonMotion. if the motor channel still doesnt work then you...

Re: Roboclaw 2x60A V5 usb slot came off

Good to know. I've sent a notice to our production line to make a seperate extra inspection of the USB connector solder points. That wont prevent the USB connector from being ripped off under all circumstances but it will insure it is as strong as it can be.

Re: Software version issues

Starting with 4.1.19 you will be able to keep the older version of the software that was already installed(at least one previous version anyway). As for directly using the older versions I havent figured that out yet. The data is still on the server but the way Microsoft's ClickOnce installers work ...

Re: Backward / Reverse with SpeedAccelDistanceM1 Function?

No problem. If you get a chance to send the board in to be updated in the future please do so. There is no warranty limit on that service.

Re: Software version issues

First you must stop the timer thread from sending packet serial commands while you are sending packet serial commands from another thread. Period. It was pure luck that 4.1.16 seemed to work for you. I suspect it failed quite a bit but you didnt notice it. A slight timing change or error correction ...
