Subject: Motors test 

Attempted first motor test in XHV. Wired and connected limit switches and string potentiometer.

Set up raspberry pi to control motors (.124). Set up pi for remote headless access.

Moved jumper on Teknic hub from 1 to 2 motors configuration.

Linux code only sees one motor and gives issues due to improperly set up limit switches.

Switched to Windows Clear path program. Left servo motor refuses to move and sounds stuck. Unable to move by hand - unclear how braking is still active.

Right servo motor initially moves, but got stuck after one move, on limit switch. Complain about sensorless startup which refers to low bias or excessive torque. The second looks more likely from the display but unclear why. Brake engaged for this motor as well? Unable to move by hand even after disconnecting all cables.

 

Removed safety pin from bellows (compressed air still missing, to be fixed next week). Motors move in. Pressure from 2E-12 to 3.5E-12 mbar and quickly recovers (seconds). Subsequent move cause smaller pressure fluctuation. All good.

 

Will contact PB too figure out issue with motors. Problem unclear. Might require some dismounting.
