Re: How to fit Encoder on Roboclaw?
You have to use one of the Speed commands if you want the Roboclaw to adjust the speed for you. The PWM/Duty cycle commands do not use the feedback information. You could get complex and read the encoder speeds and then calculate what to change the PWMs to get them to run at constnat speed all the t...

Re: Absolute position control
You can do everything but autotune through the TTL serial packet serial commands. Manual tuning isnt too difficult and if you have any questions please call in or post a new thread specific to tuning. Are you using a 2x5A or is your board a really old 2x15/2x30 that didnt have USB? If the latter you...

Re: Could you please provide a C++ example
Technically the arduino libraries are C++. You need a serial port library for whatever device(Im guess a PC since you didnt say but did mention the C#)) you are using. With some minor changes and the addition of a C++ serialport library it shouldnt take much to get a C++ program talking to the Roboc...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.
I plugged in your exact data and it did work. Using the currently available version. This would lead me to beleive the problem is something out side of the raw data. Could be how its being sent? Follow along with what I did: 1. I used RealTerm specifically to elliminate the method of sending the dat...

Re: Absolute position control
Except for changing the encoder type(go to General Settings in IonMotion and change the type(s) to Absolute for the specific motor channel(s)) the Absolute enocder wiring(eg analog POT) information starts on page 56 of the manual and leads into manual tuning and then auto tuning. For packet serial m...

Re: [Solved] Issue with update v4.1.15 not taking.
Yes, I made some minor changes to the chart scaling for the Velocity/Setpoint displays. Sync Motors should disable one slider(motor 2s slider) and use the Mixed commands(eg the dual motor commands) for PWM,Speed or Position depending which window you are in. That way both individual and dual command...

Re: Absolute position control
Im going to assume you want to use an RC signal to control a motors position like a giant servo? If you want to use a different control method(Analog signal,Packet Serial) please let me know. Your post is somewhat limited on info. First thing you need to do is get your motor and encoders wired up. D...

Re: Commands 65 and 66 seem hobbled.
Ok. Now that you are on 4.1.15... 1. The position commands do not take signed speed arguments(absolute speed only, direction is determined by the relative position change. Im just noting this for confirmation, since you say you did try a positive speed as well. 2. I moved my M2 motor to 14462 using ...

Re: Potential issue with Position Tuning in IONmotion
Yes, by "individual position commands" I meant 65 and 66. When "Sync Motors" is checked the Mixed version of the commands is used(eg 67 in the Position Settings screen).

Re: Issue with update v4.1.15 not taking.
It appears I fat fingered the firmware number for your model(not sure how since I did a find replace for all the firmware numbers but...). I've fixed that and changed the firmware update window error message so it displays the firmware version it found so this will be easier to diagnose in the future.
