Encoder error threshold?

Post by Will Pickering »

Hi,

I did a quick search but didn't find anything.

Is it possible to read or set an error that is triggered from the encoder desired position vs actual position?

I know you can set current limit, but for detecting stall it would be nice to be able to catch the encoder mismatch.

Thanks,

There is currently no encoder threshold limit in the Roboclaw. If you are using packet serial mode you could check the actual position against the expected position in your own program.

Please send in a CRM request with the suggested function. We will look at if it is feasible(eg is there room in the firmware).
