I’m having a bit of trouble controlling my servo properly with labview and i was wondering if anyone could give me a hand.
My problem is that I’m trying to set up a lynx 6 arm with force feedback using an FSR for the force measurement and a potentiometer for the positioning. My goal is that I will have a master and slave gripper, the master gripper was savanged from another lynx 6 arm, and I want to use the force reading from the slave to determine the resistance to the masters movement. The way I have it currently set up is that the potentiometer is connected to the master which feeds the position to the slave. The force value is used as a multiplier to set the position of the master and as the force increases the master will try to open by an increased amount. Anyway the problem i seem to have is that i only send a position to the master when the force is greater than or equal to 1 Newton which results in the servo activating when this condition is met but when the force returns to zero the servo is held at its last position.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this or does anyone know if the servo can be reset to run freely again?
