RXr Power Management Lost? #19

Closed davidsthayer closed 10 years ago

davidsthayer commented 10 years ago

It seems like the sleep feature has gone away. The motor is always energized now and it used to relax after five seconds of inactivity. Is it possible that any of the updates could have had and effect on that? It was working right after Doug closed #4. Didn't notice till now that it had quit.

If the txr is noisier now, that would lead to sleep going away. The rxr only sleeps if it's not getting any move commands, but if the txr tells it to move forward 1 and then backward 1 it will stay awake.

I have code in there that ought to remove the 1 count jitter, but it would not filter out a 2 count jitter.

davidsthayer commented 10 years ago

See comment on #13 about severity of jitter.

Further sleep observation: It seems that it hasn't gone away completely, it just takes much, much longer to get into it. Like 5 minutes of inactivity instead of five seconds (that includes turning the TXr off)

Is anyone else experiencing this?

jacobbenlewis commented 10 years ago

Good test to turn the Txr off, that definitely eliminates the Pot jitter from the equation.

I'm trying but I can't get this to show up on my unit. Sleep seems to be working just fine over here...
