Re: Both roboclaws sudenly stop

Hi, Thanks a lot! So finally it happend to be a combination of problems : - I had a serial timeout of 0.5s on the roboclaws (I can't really increase that for security reasons) - the CPU was somewhat overloaded - the ROS node doing the communication with the roboclaw sometimes executed the message ca...

Re: [python2] Roboclaw instance has no attribute '_port'

Hi,
Thanks.

The problem happens to be quite specific to the Jetson computer : the UART output is by default reserved for Serial debugging : in order to use it with the roboclaws, I had to disable the UART debugging.

Both roboclaws sudenly stop

Hi, I have some strange problem. We are using 2 robots, each with 4 motors (one per wheel). We use 2 pieces of 2x60A roboclaws per robot (one for the front wheels, one for the back wheels). Those are communicating with a Linux computer (Jetson Xavier AGX developer kit), over the same serial output o...

[python2] Roboclaw instance has no attribute '_port'

Hi, I'm currently duplicating the code to control my 2x60A roboclaws on a new robot. When trying to execute my code, I get a strange error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/boroboxavier1/catkin_ws/src/borobo_ros/roboclaw/script/roboclaw_node.py", line 266, in <module> robocl...

velocity autotune not updating PID values and crashing if retrying

Hi, I'm having a problem with 2 new 2x60A roboclaws (I have another pair already in use without problem). I put all the parameters as before (except for a few invert/non invert due to not doing again the connexion "errors" we did last time). PWM mode works fine. Velocity with manual PID se...

Re: One motor slowing down (stopping)

Hi,
I haven't had time to do a long test, but during the short test I did everything seemed to be OK.
Thanks a lot.

Best regards

One motor slowing down (stopping)

Hi, I'm working on a heavy (80kg) robot. It has 4 wheels (differential drive), each one with its one motor and encoder. I'm using 2 roboclaws 2x60A to control them (one for the front wheels, one for the rear wheels). I'm commanding the roboclaws from a Jetson Xavier AGX developper kit (embedded comp...

One motor slowing down (stopping)

Hi, I'm working on a rather big robot (80kg), with 4 wheels which a motor and an encoder for each one. The 2 front motors are connected on a first roboclaw (dual 60A version), and the 2 rear motors on a second one. We are using a single UART connexion to a Jetson Xavier AGX computer (using the ros i...
