Pololu Maestro setting

Postby chris1962 » Wed 18. Mar 2015, 22:43

I have a problem with the set up of the pololu maestro 6 channel board.
I installed in my rigg a fan system very simillar to the system which I found a couple of years ago here in the forum. It was a design from the member splenddid. He gave me support in the past as well to set up the pololu meastro board. Unfortunately I lost the datas of this setup and hope anyone here in the forum can help me because splenddid has left this forum obviously.
I can not find the fan project which was posted here aprox two years ago. Perhaps someone has copied this information and can help me.
At the moment my fans are starting with the game on fullspeed if the speed in the gameplay increase and the fans are stopping if the speed reaches 0 kmh. Means the fans are on off. I can not adjust the fan speed with the with my speed paddle.
I assume it has something to do with the incorrect programming of the pololu maestro board.
Any help would be great!

many thanks in advance

Hi,
I further try to set up my fan system without success. Only one time one fan has been started if the speed in the race has been increesed and I could controlled the speed of the fan in the same way as the speed of the game. But I lost this adjustment in the next moment and I don't know wy and now there is no corrosponding between xsim and Polulo Maestro or better with the controllers of the fans
There are a couple of pictures which shows my settings and I hope someone in the forum has the same fan system and can help me.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Guys
I think I have a problem with the communiction between xsim and pololu maestro 6 channel.
I use the TTL port and the Dual USB connection.But even if I start Xsim an error occure on the Pololu Control Centre 0x0010, and the connetion between Xsim and Pololu is interrupted. My guess is there is a mistake n the settings of my Comport. Does anyone know what I could do to establish the connection via the Comport?

Many thanks

regards
