Max Current no Effect - force control
Posted: Thu May 02, 2019 5:09 am
Hi!
Im am using Roboclaw 2x15
IN Ion studio, general setting gives the options to determine a Max Current for each motor. But this value actually seem to have no effect:
We are trying to move to a defined position using the position control tab. When the movement is beeing executed and I am trying to hold the axis back by hand, the M1Current immediately went up to 40-50 Amps.
In my thinking when reducing the M1MaxAps this value should be limited, right? But whatever value I put in, the Current always goes up to 40-50 Amps.
The only effect I recognize is what I put the max current to a very low value, and trying to move the axis by PWM, fo rexample, roboclaw immediately goes into M1 Over Current error without moving.
Could you please help with that?
Is there any other way to control the force of a movement?
