problem HB-25 motor controller object

Kris Cardoen

Hi,

I have downloaded the object "HB-25 motor controller object By CJ" for use with my propeller board of education
I test only with a singe HB-25 controller.

I have used the following code (since the code states that the range of the motor.set_motor1 should be between 1000 and 2000)


motor.config(14, 0, 1)
motor.set_motor1(1999) ' max speed forward
motor.pulse_motors

This works fine....
Later I have tested motor.set_motor1(1500) 'stop => also works fine...
The weird thing is when I test between 1500 and 1000, I expected to have a reverse action.
But instead nothing happens.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,
Kris

That sounds right, 500 up to <1500 should reverse. I'm using the same controller with no issues, are you saying that you don't get any movement at all? Maybe you could post your code and we might see something there.

Hi,

Thanks for having a look
The code is quite simple you will see that I use the value 1999 = max speed, 1500 = stop, but <1500 no action. Maybe a problem with my controller?
Is there another way to test the controller? anyway here is my code. I have downloaded the CJ_HB25_014 from the object lib.

Kris

Hi,

I have tested my propeller board of education with the cont. servos from my boebot.
It seems that that also doesn't work. I guess that there is a problem with my board.
I will open a case on the parallax website.
