    A copy of the last post ...
    read until I power on and ... make a new video.

    Hi Mr. Prilad :

    Thanks again for this fantastic program xSimCTRL ... and for your sharp vision guidance .

    1- tried to change the Kp as you mentioned while Motor is on ... I was using 40/20 for Kp/hi , Kp/lo ... I used many values while in motion ... and the best results for me was 100/50 ... very fast and accurate response that made no remaining error even with No dead zone minD=0 ... also used minPWM=200 ... to give an extra PWM pulses enough to create a sufficient voltage [actually I didn't measure it yet ] in the 0-10v driving circuit to make the VFD move the motor enough to the last remaining nano position . :lol:

    2- Also I zoomed the graph of motor 1 and noticed that the blue tiny line of the feedback pot position had ripples and noise onto it [ this is not from the AC motor ]... even the line of Motor 2 with the second extra FB pot has noise ... so I used a 100n capacitor to ground that noise as low pass filter [connected to DATA and GND ] ... the feed back line is now perfectly straight .

    3- by that point I remembered I had a pouncing motor and noise ... also on the VFD direction and analog control lines [ that's why I use opt-isolator circuit now ] checked them now and non is found ... reviewed the settings for the VFD and found that I made a voltage step up limit 1.5V before VFD starts the motor ... returned it back to 0v with very good motor stability now [ retested with step 1 ].

    Now for the accuracy of moving the motor on the xSimCTRL is beyond imagination ... for now I really need to sleep ... I posted this as preparation for the next Goal to be recorded on video tomorrow in the sunlight ... that's the best the mobile camera can do ... Sorry and promise to stop spending money on simulator and save to buy a good camera . :D

    yes sunlight is better for mobile video ... I didn't do that due to what happened today ... but I'll make screen shoot of the last adjustments ...
    do you need any specific tests to do ?

    Hi Prilad:

    this one I found recorded earlier to you of a previous complain about the -240 PWM remaining value ... :no:

    and here a new vid for adjustments and using the 100nF capacitor for filter on the feed back pots ... :thbup:

    Actually speedy's (AKA abdo_tahan) videos were moved within the other forum without notifying him and they had some disputes about this for which he was was banned at the end for 30 days.
    So I think it's more frustration rather than come commercial intentions...

    Hi Thanos:
    It's not as you think ... my dear ... it's not ... :cnotb:

    I guess I'm the other kind of members ... I just have the same passion for sharing just like you ... you know I improved my skills here ... starting from coupling the H-bridge early idea ... I'm really really interested with this kind of site and all information that all members including me can really give to others now ...

    Please don't get me wrong ... you know exactly what happened there ... and what I'm pointing to ... I guess you don't want a preview ... and BTW talking about commercial it's not wise to treat your customers/members that way .

    If you are a good friend ... whether If I'm right or wrong tell me the facts ... I don't have any problem feeling or writing the word SORRY to any one if you want me to ... we all make mistakes ... we all say sorry to each other ... that's how we respect each other in the first place :hesok: ... and I don't respect people with low attitude .

    Now ... I'm just disappointed posting to any one ... I tried to make another Chinese account there ... and you know what happened to the new account ... permanently banned !!! ... why is that ? :bigshock:

    Then I remembered when I first joined this forums that Mr. R-eng just disappeared too form all members point of view ... when he didn't reply to his forum till now ... I guess that he had the same kind of story ... I see his posts eventually but I don't know the details of his story ...

    Then tried to calm down and separate my self from all the disrespect that happened ...

    Now .. I'm respecting my self ... and I'm working with my simulator just to pass some amusement time ... not enjoying and sharing the results as before ... but a way to rest in peace . :dj:

    So Human/computer administrators as they like may make modifications / rules regardless The consequences in the real world could become really annoying ... they should add the word sorry for your inconvenience to there word list to be more good interfaced to the human members who may find any inconvenience in there work ... yes this should reported to them as a bug ticket ... :tapedmouth:


    for you Mr. Thanos ... I really know what you mean and feel ... Me and every one have a big respect and appreciation to your efforts, patience, knowledge ... learning more and more of your magnificent attitude with every one ... If you allowed me to e-mail you periodically to share the slow results ... I will be more than happy ...

    with my best regards
    abdo_tahan

    You are not my customer, and I have no customers anyway... Did you see any of my designs on store selves or anything, and you are saying that? After all these years of my contributions here in this forum? By having some members with higher privileges doesn't qualify them as customers!! You are new to this, ok, I understand, but the way you express yourself reminds me of a troll sometimes. That's what made me so defensive after that long post about how the administrators treat users. I didn't know we had to be so meticulous about it, for something that we do in our free time. In short, if you want to bitch at someone, at least hire him first!!! :lol:

    it is a fact ... I agree with you ... on another words in Egypt and in Greece too ... every bitch has to be paid first !! :lol:

    And with the great job you're doing among this mixing of members rights ... I give Raceray a good thank you for response to you making sure that there isn't any posts of you is moved here ? ... :thbup:

    if you want to do something in your free time in unprofessional way ... please don't ... :thbd:

    and with all my respect the only fact here that you're the same as you described me ... but I'm not ... Sorry my friend ... it's a different point of view ... :lol:

    thanks

    Hi Guys, Hi Speedy, Hi Thanos...

    I want to apologize, but I don't understand very well yours emotional words. My English is technical and is not so good. I try to use Google translator, but don't understand more then half... :( Any technical documents I can read without translator.

    @Speedy. How are you, my Friend? Do you have any news about your simulator?

    Best regards,
    Ale

    Hi Prilad :
    sorry my friend ... :blush:


    I don't have any technical news except some metal preparations for the cockpit and the chair ...
    and I'm learning Russian Now ... starting from the [ ф и с в у ... this is my keyboard typing ] and listening to some conversations to know how letters and words sounds like :D it's easy yes it is .

    what is the good news with you ?

    Hi, Speedy...

    My next step - connect two wiper motors and feedback potentiometers to my sim prototype. I hope I will make it in a week. And make new video with this...

    Oh... It is not a simple language :D :clap:

    Hi, Guys.

    I'm created the port of my firmware for Arduino (UNO, Nano, Duemilanove) platform (with atmega328p). x-sim_arduino_by_Ale.zip
    It works with COM-port Baud = 57600.

    Here is the video with work demonstration:
