when I use the AMC buttons to run the engines, I have the same speed off line and on line I configured the on-line and off-line speed to 100% in the parameters of the AMC the speed of my drive is 100hz and it displays 50 hz. What is the problem? it seems that the AMC limits to 50% of the speed.
ok I found , it's a drive parameter

there seems to be a real problem with Xsim and the AMC. (2DOF configuration) according to my last tests with Simtools, my AMC seems to work with Simtools!
But, I note that the configuration information is different with Simtools. Interface - Output: AB<Axis1a><Axis2a><Axis3a><Axis4a><Axis5a><Axis6a>
is this not the cause of my problem with Xsim ??

unfortunately, I had a few shakes during the game.
nothing to do with before with Xsim, but from time to time there are shocks ...
I do not know if it's a failure or a "bug" since it seems less to do with Simtools.

Thanos, i have always the same problem with the new firmware: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QehJC9NZ21o&feature=youtu.bewhen i press start the motor 2 move abnormally , see the video. I've already replaced the little card 6 DOF, same problem. the problem seems to come from the AMC or the Firmware. This problem happened with the update of the Firmware I feel that it's from the USO; with the 6DOF plugin, the problem seems not exist. is it possible to put the plugin interface 6dof and configure Xsim to my 2DOF? can you fix the problem that it works as before the update of the Firmware of the AMC? I'd like to find a solution, my Simulator is unusable thanks Hi, First you need to check if your controller is working correct. Follow the instructions in these videos to see if the outputs are correct: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8X8YMFrp-wwww.youtube.com/watch?v=PqsPKYejMgAThen you need to set the controller in 6DOF and test manually the sliders to see if there is correct motion using the 6DOF plugin. www.dropbox.com/sh/8jexs5optuljr27/AABtfTrGArD2-_2vn3oFLNk5a?dl=0You could take videos of testing the above to see if I can notice the issue, as from your video I can't tell what can be wrong. From the motion alone can't tell if its bad position sensor or bad output (electrical issue) as I'm not there to measure the voltages with a multimeter. Perhaps the AMC1280USB controller you have got damaged electrically, it can happen. In that case I could replace with new one if you send it to me, or you could get advantage of the kickstarter offer only for existing AMC1280USB owners and get two controllers (the second to replace you old controller) in the half price for one, just $190 (AMC1280USB Basic pledge option).
But hurry, the kickstarter is almost finished! Thanks Thanos Hi Thanos, I'm having problems with my card. Is there a way to test pwm outputs on ACM128? I've tested the outputs via the 6dof extension board (as explained in the video), and the values go between 1.24-1.34V and 3.77V on all six channels. I've also tried running mini servo platform, and dc motors, but unfortunately there is no motor movement since yesterday. Thanks, Tino.

Thank you Thanos, I really appreciate that ! Oscilloscope ordered. I'll make a post with more info about the fault and current progress of my build, but I've tested few days ago with 2.3 firmware and I was getting between 1.24-1.34V and 3.77V on the extension card. (I'll try this again). I've since reverted to 2.0 and cleaned the card, but still no luck with PWM1 (although, servo mini platform is now working ok, so probably just PWM1 chanel is damaged). PWM1 is outputting 0.20-0.15 V, (seems to be going down every time I check) but out1 and out2 seem to be working fine (I can get motor spinning at full speed by replacing out and PWM1 outputs). Thanks, Tino.

for my problem described in the video with Xsim:
after several weeks to test with Simtools: with Simtools, the fault, the problem on the engine to almost disappeared .... Sometimes, but it's rare it gives jerks.

Hallo all, according to the new option "BTW, to enable unidirectional mode now you dont use the DIP Switch3, but the unidirectional mode in the LCD menu" phasing the fact, that I cannot get the Bi-directional mode working starting with firmware 2.3, same with 2.4. 2.1 is working fine if the DIP swich 3 is on 2,5V is the zero value, with 2.3 or 2.4 i can only get a 0-5 Volt signal.
appreciate any hint to solve that issue regards baulchen

Hi, It took longer than I thought but its here. You can find the firmware in the following link: www.dropbox.com/s/xf2rpy7rcf3g0ay/enc_6dof_AMC1280USB_v2.3_2017_controller_support_FIX_rev3.8.hex?dl=0EDIT* 6/17/2017 -Fixed a small typo error on PID code for Motor 4 (analog output) that was causing the motor to fail to return proper speed on one direction. This firmware is redesigned to support the new 2017 version AMC1280USB v2 controller, but keeps backward compatibility with the older v1x boards. It will automatically detect the additional hardware on the newer boards and activate the relative code for the extra functionality (12-bit DAC and PWM driver, 16-bit Analog ADC chip etc). I'll write some more information on the added functions soon. For now I'll just say the input - output modes and resolution are selected using the LCD menu rather the DIP switches and jumpers so its easier to setup than before. Let me know if you find any bugs... Thanks Thanos Hey, I would need some assistance please. I am testing the new 2.3 firmware with the old green board. Right after loading the new firmware, the motor 1 is rotating and the others are stuck. Is there a special setting to set in the menu in order to get the board work like with the old firmware? (platform driven by Clearpath motors with analog sensors) Thanx cheers

Hi, Some of the v2.3 firmware had typos in the PID after adding 12-bit inputs-outputs options to them. I think I got them all fixed in the last versions v2.4 firmware. See here: motionsim.blogspot.com/2017/10/new-firmware-release-and-kickstarter.htmlBut I'm going to check on an old AMC1280USB v1.f I have around to make sure. Perhaps some setting was stuck in epprom from older firmware. I must make a routine to flush the epprom settings to default to avoid such issues. BTW, I tried numerous times to read the 14-bit encoders and passed all signals though logic analyser, but it seems that in all sensors I have the Data line does not rise above 0.5v when the clock ticks. I tried pull-ups and pull-down conditioner on the lines to make sure the signal is not inverted but still it gives very low peak-to-peak of 0.5v data bits. Either there is something wrong with the wiring inside the sensors or I need an amplifier wired to rectify the data signal from 0.5v to TTL 0-5v logic. I followed the color coding of the cables so I know I didn't mess up the wiring but something seems really odd about it, I wish they would provide it with a connector to assign on pin numbers not color coding though. I hope the guy that assembled them was not color blind or something. Thanks

I will double heck Concerning the 14bit sensors why not contact directly the manufacturer?? I remember they were ready to help when I've ordered them for you over a year ago
