Attaching RoboClaw to IonMotion Control
Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2017 5:03 pm
Sorry, this has probably been asked, but forum search doesn't work. (Claims 'update firmware' or 'attach to IonMotion Control' are "too common" )
Any case. I've got a 15A Roboclaw. It's not new, several years old (probably 3 or 4). I have no idea what firmware is on it.
I've installed the windows Drivers and can see that it says "Communication Device Class ASF" in the Device Manager. I've also installed the IonMotion Control Software.
I've powered the Roboclaw and the Stat LED is solid Green and a USB cable is attached. I'm in Mode 7.
I open the IonMotion software and the "Attached Devices" is empty. I try switching the USB to different ports, it makes no difference, device never appears as an "Attached Device"
How do I:
1) get the IonMotion software to recognize the RoboClaw
2) baring that tell what version of firmware is installed.
3) update the firmware manually if need be.
Thank you for your help.
