Exception: Moving velocity failed: Time out while waiting for hardware unit to respond. #9

Dear Tobias,

I tried using your software to operate the K10CR1/M but I am getting a timeout error every time I try to run it. The software seems to be recognising the device and the motor can be operated from APT User just fine, for some reason it just doesn't want to move when the python script is run. 'trial2.py' is the file I have been trying to run and I have tried running it for different locations within the directory with no luck. I have copied the file directories and the time out error below, I hope this helps.

Thanks, Emily

motor.set_move_home_parameters(motor.get_move_home_parameters()) and motor.set_velocity_parameters(motor.get_velocity_parameters()) helped me to solve this issue. was mentioned @ "MFF101 kind of works #3"
