Hey, i have a SES Alum Arm and i’ve been having a relatively similar problem. when the arm has been running (sometimes for 5 min, sometimes for 20 min, the time is very variable.) eventually one or multiple joints will disable themselves. so far i haven’t found any mechanical reason for this to happen (over heating, etc.) i called the Lynxmotion support line, and he recommended that i post a comment about it. he also mentioned that it may be something with setting the timouts, but i don’t want to mess with it, without first inquiring further. any suggestions?
here are the specs i’m running under:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
No Parity
No Flow Control
Read Interval: 20
Read Total Const: 10
Read Total Multiplier: 10
Write Total Const: 1000
Write Total Multiplier: 100
RIOS v1.05
I am also using a COM to USB adapter.
also, on a related note, how long are the arms designed to last? how long can they be expected to run continuously? (assuming i keep the servos cooled.)
