DYNAMIXEL Servo: XL330-M288-T
LIST ALL DYNAMIXEL SERVOS USED IN THIS PROJECT: XL330-M288-T
DYNAMIXEL Controller: OpenRB-150
Software Interface: Mac/ Arduino
Operating Mode: Extended_Position
I am moving an object with a cable and winch vertically within a range of 3 feet. The winch will go through multiple rotations.
Power On: “void loop” starts at position (0), and everything runs fine. The object moves up (+) and down (-) with pauses at the right position.
If I Power Off while the object is moving, the object stops and holds its position.
When I Power On, the object shows it is at the (0) position, according to the serial monitor readout, and the object crashes at the top or bottom limits. Why doesn’t the servo remember its position on restart? How can this problem be resolved?
Thanks.
DYNAMIXEL X series servos don’t feature persistent encoders to remember multi-turn encoder position across reboots, the only DYNAMIXEL servos with that functionality are our new DYNAMIXEL Y industrial actuators.
Thanks for your help.
