    :thbup: super colle sache...

    Gibt es denn den Wert Fuel Temp überhaupt? Ich dachte eher das nur der Text falsch ist. Schau mal im Video- ich habe dort Wather und auf der Öl Temp diesen Wert 57. Wie in echt geht die Wassertemperatur nach dem losfahren zügig nach oben und bleibt dann auf einem Konstanten Wert, das öl bleibt während des Fahrens eher tief. Stellt man das Auto an eine Wand und lässt den Motor drehen gehen beide Temperaturen bis zum Anschlag hoch. Ich sehe keinen Grund warum bei einem solchen Manöver die Benzin Temperatur auf fast 120°C (!!!???) gehen sollte...

    Grüsse Martin

    I'm trying to use the Pololu servo controller to drive two servos, but I am having some trouble. The servos seem to work, but after a little while of running the servos, the servos stop and Profiler 2.0 shows an error Error writing on serial port COM1.

    Depending on how long I set the Datapacket pause and the baud rate, it will run longer or shorter. With pause set to 10m/s and at 2400 baud, it will run for about 14 seconds before displaying the Error.
    At 30m/s pause and 2400 baud, it will run for 20 seconds.
    At 10m/s pause and 9600 baud, it will only run for 7 seconds.

    The run time is always predictable based on baud rate and pause setting.

    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

    I am not running a USB>RS232 converter. I have the serial cable plugged into the serial port. I have tried many settings for COM1 in device manager, from setting baud rate, to flow control, to the FIFO buffers, but nothing seems to help except increasing the pause all the way up to 500m/s! (which makes it useless)

    Any ideas?
