With the current firmware they are disabled. Once we have released the new manual with that information we will also release the firmware update that will enable those pins.

Re: RoboClaw 30A and battery connectors
You can do that or you could get the matting Deans connector(eg female for male etc). Then connect the adapter cables raw ends to the screw terminals. That way you wont make your battery unusable in other applications.

Re: Absolute PID setup/V5 wiring diagram
You have a screw terminal version of the Roboclaw. It has all the same functions but the ground and 5v pins were consolidated to fit the screw terminals.

The home function will move the motor in reverse at 1/10th power until the index/home switch is detected. If the signal is already triggered the motor w...

Re: mbed controller with roboclaw
We dont have anything specific to the mbed platforms. You will need to read through the roboclaw manual and probably look at the other examples we have for different languages.

Re: Getting roboclaw out of bootstrap mode
