AMC 1.5 & RC Servos con firmware 6DOF

Hola amigos,

He terminado de construir la controladora AMC de Tronic y he optado por hacerla funcionar con pequeños servos de radiocontrol, para construir una maqueta a escala de una plataforma Stewart 6DOF.

He conseguido programar el microcontrolador con el firmware 115KRC6DOF001 de Tronic y en el X-Sim Force Profiler (v.2.1) introduzco la secuencia que nos proporciona también nuestro amigo Tronic AB~a01~~a02~~a03~~a04~~a05~~a06~ pero no hay movimiento por parte de ninguno de los servos. Pienso que algo estoy haciendo mal o quizá es un error de hardware, pero estoy en un punto muerto y no soy capaz de avanzar en este sentido. Os describo los pasos que he seguido:

1.- Conecto la controladora AMC al puerto serie COM1 (Cable pin a pin 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc ... )
2.- El conector DIP de 4 posiciones está puesto todo en OFF
3.- El jumper J1 está alimentando los servos (cuando conecto el cable de alimentación 6V. hacen un pequeño giro)
4.- El puente Rx Tx está habilitado
5.- Los servos conectados a sus 4 salidas y los 2 restantes al puerto ADC 7 y 8.
6.- Conecto la alimentación y hago un reset para vaciar cualquier buffer que haya podido quedar en la controladora.
7.- Se encienden los 2 leds verdes (alimentación y comunicación)
8.- Abro Force Sender y uso un mando de Xbox 360 que tengo conectado para enviar datos al Profiler 2.1

9.- Hago click en Try send data
10.- Abro Force Profiler 2.1 y así es como queda cada apartado:

11.- Hago click en Start y muevo los controles del mando.

Cuando llego a este paso, los servos permanecen inmóbiles, no sucede nada y no se que más probar. El cable funciona bien, ya que es el mismo con el que programé el microcontrolador. Cuando hago reset hacen un pequeño movimiento y se paran.

¿Se os ocurre algo para poder echarme una mano?

Gracias y saludos.

THIS IS THE TRANSLATION OF MY POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH

Hello friends,

I finished building the AMC Tronic controller and I opted for it to work with small radio-controlled servos to build a scale model of a 6DOF Stewart platform.

I managed to program the microcontroller with firmware 115KRC6DOF001 Tronic and the X-Sim Force Profiler (v.2.1) Enter the sequence also gives us our friend Tronic AB~a01~~a02~~a03~~a04~~a05~~a06~ but no movement by any of the servos. I'm doing something wrong or maybe it's a hardware failure, but I'm at a standstill and I am not able to move in this direction. We describe the steps I followed:

1 .- Connect the controller to the serial port COM1 AMC (Cable pin to pin 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc ...)
2 .- The 4-position DIP socket is put everything in OFF
3 .- The jumper J1 is powering the servos (when I plug the power cord 6V. Do a little twist)
4 .- The bridge is enabled Tx Rx
5 .- 4 servos connected to their outputs and the remaining 2 ADC port 7 and 8.
6 .- I connect the power and reset to clear any buffer that may remain on the controller.
7 .- 2 LEDs light up green (power and communication)
8 .- I open Force Sender and use an Xbox 360 controller that I have connected to send data to Profiler 2.1
9 .- I click on Try send data
10 .- I open Force Profiler 2.1 and that is how is each item: (IMAGES ARE THE SAME AS ABOVE)
11 .- I click on Start and move the controls on.

When I get to this step, the servos remain immobile, nothing happens and do not know what else to try. The cable works fine, since it is the same with which I programmed the microcontroller. When I reset make a little move and stop.

Can you think of something to give me a hand?

Thanks and regards.

Ok friends, I have solved the problem.

The only thing I have changed is de datapacket or sequence. Now I am using this one AB~255~~a01~~a02~~a03~~a04~~a05~~a06~

And now is time to continue with scale stewart 6dof platform... I will keep you informed, but before that is time to :

Regards x-simers!

Output without any show I have the same problem

How to do?

Tronic's AMC1.5 H1.2 wiper motor

Hi winzzy,

I think you are using the Hbridge. In my test I have not conected the Hbridge and I am only working with RC servos (radio control servos)
You don't need to see any output in X-sim because Tronic's AMC works in USO mode and al commands goes through COM port.

So, first let's review steps configuring X-Sim (I assume you have Profiler 2.1)

1.- INPUT SETUP: Verify you have any input to test wipers (joystick, pad or something like that) or use Force-Sender with the Test Plugin.
2.- MATH SETUP: Create 2 axis (Axis 1 and Axis 2) and in each one add a Output 1:1 (Gforce) line and in the configuration dialog that apears, in the choose sender input value select the input you want. (in my case I selected X axis from the Xbox 360 controller) and select both checkboxes Use automatic maximum adjustment and Use automatic maximum adjustment (10%) and click Insert math line and continue
3.- OUTPUT SETUP: Select USO (Universal Serial Output), select COM port where you plugged AMC 1.5 and click in Add comport to list, select 8 bit resolution and binary output. In datapacket with axis information write this sequence for 2 axis: AB~255~~a01~~a02~
4.- In Force-Sender click on Try Send Data
5.- PUSH START in Force-Profiler (it will change to red with the STOP word)
6.- Move the pad or the test plugin sliders and wipers should move.

For me worked, but I remember you I am using servos in the Servo port no in the Hbridge, wipers worked for me with that config

Regards!
