PayneTrain commented 11 years ago

Forwarded email to Paul, sales guys, as Biren is on vaca til Dec 3rd

PayneTrain commented 11 years ago

Paul responded, he said Patel will respond by Wed. I can't seem to find a help forum, do u guys see one??

PayneTrain commented 11 years ago

Responded/tested the following questions from Patel today:

The voltage supply input should not be differential, if you need 20 volts then you should supply +20V and ground to the pins on J1.

Can you verify, you have limited the continuous current limit value to the value shown in the catalog?

Also, if in the start up wizard you get the option to include the gear box, ignore this and continue with no gear.

Can you also tell me what firmware is on the epos2. You indicated the latest software buying would like to verify you are running the latest firmware.

Did not help, awaiting email back from him.

Issue 17402 submitted with Maxon's online help desk

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

damn fancy - is there a link?

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

so what is the error from the log file?

PayneTrain commented 11 years ago

The motor is operational now! Solution was the J3 connector has to have the motor (-) and (+) lines individually attached to the motor. I need to talk to Patel about the order for the other 4 motors to make it so we have a truly encapsulated system(ie. we won't have to do wiring ourselves as this introduces error)
