Hi, I have been lurking around the Lynxmotion boards and have found people with a similar problem but mine goes a little further into the programming… I am building an A4WD1/AL5A(w/ wrist rotate) combo bot with PS2 control. On one side of the rover, the wheels won’t stop turning backwards while the other side remains stationary. I tried finding the offsets of each side and found some workable numbers that stopped the motion of the wheels completely. I then entered the offset values into the rover_v1.2.bas program for both the arm and the motors, enabled the arm I have, and tried to program my BAP28. I keep getting 2 errors (shown below)and I have no idea as to what those errors are referring to or how to fix it. I have removed the SSC-32 from the equation because I was heving trouble getting the Bot Board II to communicate with it. I have been using Basic Micro Studio on a 3yo Gateway desktop running Windows Vista to program the BAP28. The cord is serial-to-serial. I have separate batteries to power the motors, arm servos, and logic. The Sabertooth 2x10 R/C motor controller is not drawing power from anywhere else besides the motor battery. If you need anymore info, just ask. I only have a few more days to work on this and get it up and running before I have to show it to my teacher for my senior project, so any help is greatly appreciated! Here are the two error codes I keep getting when trying to program the BAP28 with the rover_v1.2.bas program (I *'d my name for security reasons):
Error: FILE C:\USERS*\DOCUMENTS\PS2ARMCHASSISCONTROLPROGRAM.BAS(LINE 896) : [TOKEN ,] : Unknown Command
Error: FILE C:\USERS*\DOCUMENTS\PS2ARMCHASSISCONTROLPROGRAM.BAS(LINE 896) : [TOKEN :] : Expected =
Thanks for the help!
I am assuming that this is the rover_v1.2.bas from Xans Rover with Arm project. This source file also has not been updated to the new HSERVO command format…
I did a download and quick edit and have it building now…
If you have issues with motors on one side, you need to play with the values:
;[MOTOR NEUTRAL OFFSET]
RightChNeutral con 1500
LeftChNeutral con 1500
try updating the one that is moving by a little one direction to see if it slows down or speeds up and adjust until both sets of motors stop…
Good Luck
