Microcontroller
Open-RB150
Software Description
Arduino IDE
Issue Description
When I use the example code for “position control” with a potentiometer. I must open the “Serial Monitor” before controlling, i.e. open “Serial Monitor” first and then rotate the potentiometer . Otherwise, without opening “Serial Monitor”, Open-RB150 does not read the potentiometer signal.
Here is the example code:
