After some research it appears this is a common problem with phpbb. It looks like changing the threshold to 0 and then deleting index and re-creating index might fix it. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1441385 I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point since I can cont...

I'm not sure what the pyserial library is doing behind the scenes, but I wonder if this issue was tested in c++ on the 4.10 kernel if it would have any different result? If that worked, then the c++ library could be wrapped and called from Python with the existing python library. This may be exactly...

This may not help Chuck-Yeo, but here are my findings. I can say that I have no problem performing a 'Stop All' using the DutyM1, DutyM2, and/or DutyM1M2 commands with a value of 0 and the motors are not holding position (I can freely move); however, there is a problem with these functions in the Py...

Would it be possible for you to update the settings on the forum search feature? More often than not, I can not search for help due to this error message: The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: I assume there is some setting in phpBB that will let yo...

I can confirm that closing/re-opening the connection after any number of cycles does not prevent the problem. I put some debug statements in and have found that the python library is stopping on here, if that helps any def _sendcommand(self, address, command): .... self._port.write(bytes([command]))

@gdoisy, I am on 4.10 (Ubuntu 16.04)

So it sounds like that the cause of my issue.

The code is essentially just any Read command inside a while loop. Am I correct in thinking with the python code shown below it wouldn't be possible to send another read command until the previous was finished? I can put a sleep in the while loop, >=10ms, and the problem appears to go away. I'm curi...

I couldn't find this command so assuming this may be a feature request, I'll preface it with my need for this command. I will be deploying a large number of Roboclaws (maybe eventually MCPs too) in an industrial setting where I will need to uniquely identify the devices via packet serial mode, for a...

I'm currently reading all the main status variables (the ones shown on 'Device Status' page in Ion Studio) in a loop, but I've found that without a sleep() inside the loop, the reads will stutter and eventually hang. I can restart the script and it will work again for a few seconds, but eventually i...

Is there a guide/document/discussion somewhere lining out the differences between the MCP and the Roboclaw?

I'm currently using Roboclaw, but I'm wondering if the MCP line would benefit me.
