When you press a button and it goes into setup mode all the other functions should stop working. Even USB, so that is a little weird. the button routines run in their own loop once you have entered the setup mode. The USB interrupt is strill running but no data is being processed when in that state....

What are you using to control the Roboclaw when it is not plugged into USB? I will assume it is an arduino because a couple other customers had a similar problem. It was because the USB port is used to elliminate all timing error on the roboclaw when it is plugged in(this is so the USB timings are w...

I've combined your two posts because they were related(thought he order is wrong, oops). 1. You will need to determine what the comport nume is on your MAC. Im afraid I do not know how to find that out. I think a little Google Fu will be required. Once you have the correct port name/address you shou...

Set MCU mode in the Option setting for Analog mode. MCU mode disables the autocalibration of the stopped voltage level on powerup.

Yes, you can combine the motor channels. HOWEVER, you must use IonMotion to setup the board so it is in combined mode(General Settings in IonMotion) and you have to wire the channels up correctly. If you do not you will damage the board. Make sure you save the settings once you have changed it in Io...

Of course. All the libraries we provide the source code to are open source. if you want to modify it and then submit a copy, we'll run our normal tests on it and replace the old library or add that one as a second option.

Sounds good. Please reply in this thread as well with the link. I assume you'll be adding it to your project thread.

1. I would not recommend the fure directly on the motors. The warning from the manufacturer is what all motors manufacturers do. They want to prevent stall for any significant length of time. You can do this by setting the robcolaws maximum current level to 20amps in your case instead of using the f...

I would recommend a 2x30 or the 2x45(both peak 60a but you will get longer runtime with the 45 if you are constantly getting near stall). The roboclaw over current protection will handle the little above that. However if you run the motor at higher than the rated voltage the stall current will go up...

I explained in your other post what the flip switch does. In the future please combine your posts into one if they are related(like these two were). Thanks MCU mode disables the auto calibration of the Analog or RC signals. Eg it prevents the zero and min max calibration, and it also disabled the au...
