KBD101 Moving velocity failed exception #34

Closed jkhorton123 closed 3 years ago

jkhorton123 commented 3 years ago

Hello! I am attempting to control the ThorLabs KBD101 Servo Controller with the Python APT Software. I followed the installation guide and I can interface with the controller so commands like apt.list_available_devices() and apt.get_velocity_parameters() work. However, any move command such as motor.move_home(True) does not work and produces the following error: raise Exception("Moving velocity failed: %s" % Exception: Moving velocity failed: Invalid error code.

I have tried setting the home parameters and velocity parameters as previous users with this problem have done. Are there other potential reasons why this problem could be persisting?

Solved by installing older version of APT software found under the archive tab.
