Re: RobotClaw 2x15A 2 motors not running simultaneously

I'm not sure what you mean by the second battery is always seen as low. If you mean the second temp sensor(temp 2), it is always 0 on the lower current rated Roboclaws(they only have one temp sensor). Only the larger 120 and 160 amp controllers have dual sensors(since they are physically bigger they...

Re: Stop at Loss of Serial Connection

There isnt an explicit option to stop the last command when a new command hasnt been received(eg a timeout). However if youre Jetson board is loosing power you can use an I/O(set high by the Jetson which would reset to low on a power down/reset) or 3.3v/5v power from the Jetson to trigger the E-Stop...

Re: Roboclaw 2x60A V5 usb slot came off

If it is happening on multiple units I'd suggest tying down the USB cable when in use. The USB connectors are not designed to have any significant load put on them. Also some USB cables connector ends are out of spec so when pushing them in it is very hard. If you push to hard it could tear the conn...

Re: Roboclaw 2x60A V5 usb slot came off

What is the name on the return package? I've received a 60a board on Friday that appears to be yours but you never posted your name in this thread so I cant be sure. Assuming it is we will repair it either today or tomorrow and ship it back.

Re: Software version issues

Sorry. My mistake. I just looked at the code and remember why it didnt go any further than that. The problem is your code is using a third party library we dont have(an ethernet bridge interface it appears). Since I couldnt run the project I was planning on going through it manually to see if anythi...

Re: Software version issues

The internal update number(eg 1.0.0.45 in this case) isnt the same number as the software version number in the about box window. The previous version 1.6.6 had an update number of 1.0.0.44. If you previously had 1.6.6 install on the PC and then updated to 1.7+ you can revert to 1.6.6 using Programs...

Re: roboclaw 7A delayed motor stop

Firmware can only be updated directly through the USB connection on the Roboclaw. If you are using an old Roboclaw that doesnt have the USB connector than that unit must be sent in to get the firmware update. If your board is that old that does explain why you are having trouble with the python comm...

Re: roboclaw 7A delayed motor stop

First make sure you have the latest firmware installed on the Roboclaw. If it has older firmware before the checksum and ack changes then the commands will run but the python library will think they didnt and keep trying until they timeout. Also you should check the return value from the function ca...

Re: roboclaw 7A delayed motor stop

I would suspect the second command is failing to execute properly immediately(there is an automatic retry built in to commands that fail to ack properly). You will need to see if this is the case or not by adding some code to see how long each command is taking. You can print the current processor t...
