Alt. firmware and GUI for Thanos's AMC1.5 & AMC1.6

[speedy]

Hi Mr. Prilad:
sorry for interruption ... but with the hazing numbers on Mr./jsmith2307 video ... I see that he had the SensLo and SensHi values for motor 1=>"Y" are reversed .... isn't that could be the problem ?

This amazing program can do some tricks ... for the simulator protection ... they should be used right .

Hi, Speedy.

About SensLo and SensHi - if they are reversed, it's mean that the "sensor" is reversed. It is programm way to change sensor's direction instead wires re-soldered.

Greetings,

check with multimeter (voltmeter) potential on pin DIR (p1d1). It must change level from +5V to 0V and back when PWM is changed sign.

I checked the voltage out with the program on oscillator, checked the multimeter set to DCV @ 20volts on p1d1 to DIR and got ZERO on the readout .
Next I checked the other side on p2d1 to DIR and got a readout from 4.7 to 0 per/oscillation.
The thing is why did p1d1 to DIR not give me any thing other than ZERO?

There are three variants:

1 - in firmware p1d1 assigned to the other pin
2 - it's the ground fault
3 - pin p1d1 of atmega is broken

I recommend disconnect power, to check (with multimeter) the resistance between Ground and p1d1.
After to disconnect AMC from H-bridge and check voltage on p1d1.
And if there is not voltage on p1d1 - reconnect H-bridge to p2d1.

Greetings,
I hope I did this right!
Power off, using the multimeter set on 200k resistance, I measured from the GND pin on the board, to p1d1 pin everything stayed attached @ 47.0
then
I measured from the GND pin on the board, to p1d1 pin everything off @ 00.0

After to disconnect AMC from H-bridge and check voltage on p1d1.

Did you mean reconnect.....?

Sorry, jsmith2307... I mean to check voltage on pin without connecting to H-bridge. But if you have 0 ohm resistance (if I right understand) between GND and p1d1 - check soldering. Or you have broken pin of atmega. If Atmega in socket - you can extract Atmega and check resistance again

Greetings,
I've changed over to p1d2 from p1d1, and it appears it does what p1d1 was supposed to do! I'm in early testing...videos to come!

ok

Greetings Ale!!!
It is with great pleasure, I declare a minor level of success!! It WORKS! Thank you, thank you for everything. While probing with the multimeter I discovered a reading from 0 - 4.8 and back again on P1d2 pin and moved over to that. I've been checking the CW & CCW it works great!....Except a grinding sound coming from the motor.

Once again, Thank you!
I've got another question for you, but I have to do my homework before asking!
