Re: Has Packet Serial mode to be activated through USB port?

Did you try 57600 as well? Also if you are using Leonardo(I assume that was what you mean since I've never heard of a "Leoparde" arduino), the lenadro arduino boards have a seperate hardware uart you can use while still use the leonardos USB connection. I recommend using hardware uarts bec...

Re: SOLVED - Packet Serial Issues with Arduino

38400 usually does work ok. I would also test at 57600. Both are OK baudrates on arduino(eg fairly minimal bitrate error). Lower baudrates usually have lower errors of course but not always. Also on the arduino if you are using software serial with interrupts other commands that use interrupts can i...

Re: new manual

The curernt manual covers most changes from 4.1.12. The GetEncoders and GetISpeeds commands were added at the last minute so did not make it into this manual. The arduino library does include them. The syntax is pretty much what you would expect. address, cmd then read back the 4 byte encoder1 and 4...

Re: Can't connumicate with RoboClaw 2x45

is the Roboclaw being propelry detected by your Linux box? Whats its ttyACM address? Did you change the pythong exampel to use the correct comport address? The default example is setup for windows by default. You can comment the windows Open function out and uncomment the Linux one and then change t...

Re: Has Packet Serial mode to be activated through USB port?

In packet serial mode the motors wont stop just because you disconnect the signal lines(eg S1 and S2). Unlike RC mode there is no qaruntee when signals will be sent in packetserial mode. Only RC mode supports a timeout for turning the motors off if no new pulses are received(thats its default settin...

Re: SOLVED: IonMotion Interface Hangs on Connect

Good information, Ibrahim. I'll add Im adjusting it so it wont take so long for the popup to come up if IonMotion has problems automatically entering bootloader mode. I just checked and negative numbers do cause an exceptin. 0 didnt though and shouldnt since 0 is a valid accel setting. When 0 is set...

Re: S4/S5 enable

Ok. You haev S4/S5 set to Home(user) which means the roboclaw will only stop the motors when it sees a falling edge on the signal input(M1 for S4 and M2 for S5). Try to narrow down what is happening with the motor kicking when powering up. Is the home signal triggered or not? This could indicate som...

Re: Change communication format

USB communications(assuming you are using the latest firmware) is always available. The mode the Roboclaw is set to doesnt matter(anymore). The only catch is when using RC or Analog mode those inputs will control the motors. Any packet serial commands sent over USB to control the motors will have no...

Re: S4/S5 enable

I looked at the code and E-STOP is checked before everthing else. Are you using latched or un-latched E-STOP? If E-STOP is triggered the motors should stop no matter what even if the homing routine is running. I'll have to wire it up and test it to see if Im missing something. The S4 and S5 pins(and...

Re: Mode 40 which is Speed Accel Mixed does not seem to work

I think I found the problem. It appears the bug will affect commands 40 and 46(dual motor commands that use a single accel argument). We are working on a minor update which adds support for our 2x7A motor controller. I should have this fixed in that release. Until then you should use either the comm...
