OK. Suspect we are there. I was able to update IONmotion and then RoboClaw on my old PC so speed of timeout seems ok to me. S3,S4,S5 led's all seem to be operational on first start up so that issue seems to be sorted as well. Will do more checking tonight when I get home from work but all good at th...

Ok-Thanks for letting me know. For reference I was working with my Toshiba Laptop Satellite Pro C50-A running Windows 7. Its about 18 months old so not too far behind the pack. I'm a bit surprised the speed was so different to your computer. Interested to know what you use. I also use my old Pentium...

Attempted to update this morning. I am running into 'Unexpected communications error: The operation has timed out" notice, and this occurs almost instantaneously on clicking the update button, ie: before I can even get my finger off the mouse button. Start Roboclaw in bootloader mode. Connected...

Well done, pleased to hear about that. That makes sense with what I have seen as well. I will be pleased to see the back of that issue and other current users will be pleased to see their issues sorted as well in the new release to come. Thank you.

First, in my previous reply I missed your last question about disabling S4/S5 and to try powering up, check S3. Result is that S4/S5 is not working and neither is S3. Powered up and checked S3,S4,S5, nothing. Then connected IONmotion and still nothing. Clicking Device/'Read Settings' can make S3 ope...

The motor did not kick this morning on power up, think that motor kick is not an issue, does not usually do that. In fact I just switched it off and back on again five times and not a peep from the motors. I had left the settings on Home(user) since our last contact so would not expect a self homing...

My intention is to continue using E-stop in the un-latched mode. I was only changing over to latch mode briefly because that action happens to make S3 work again. I am stepping through some checks now as I write. Power on to RoboClaw, one of the motors kicked and stopped-not sure which one. Encoder ...

Thanks for looking into this. From my perspective, I started with 4.1.6, just before the update that brought in the button swap option. Then I seemed to be stuck on the wrong side of that change and could not make progress until the right bit of fiddling got me past that. Then this area of S4,S5 see...

Interesting.. I was having issues as described above where I was not getting --ANY-- response from touching some bridging wires across S4 or S5 I/O to the ground pin. IONmotion settings were on homing-user. S3 was on non-latching E-stop. S3 WOULD flash the device status indicator on as expected. Cha...

Thank you Dawn. Had a lot of help from forum and I like to give back when I can.
