Thanos AMC1.6 USB 2DOF Motion Controller

[motiondave]

Just a question, who software and plug in are you using?
x-sim? bff?

I need your help because I do not know what happens
I made Thanos AMC 1.6 and it seems to be working as it should
I use a AS5145H-hsst as encoder and counter finely 0-255 on display
I do not know why amc 1.6 run only 8 bit and I do not how to get it to run 16 bit.

I use mortor from motion control one 90ZYT-155-12 with gears 1 to 25 output
and I use an H-bridge. The DBK-HT dual motor driver

I've tried with xsim control software with firmware from ale take my engine 1 and turn and run back and forth between 0 and 255 and about 1 sec later there comes a loud pop from the h-bridge and it is dead.

I switched back to Thanos firmware started x-sim and a game and at the moment I pressed start on the x-sim. race motor back and forth and a new h-bridge was dead.
unfortunately I have not record a video of what happened and do not want to sacrifice a h-bridge again.

what should i do

thank you in advance for your help is appreciated

It's very familiar to me. However I play with Arduino + dsmhb 1.2 h-bridge (diy one, designed by Thanos). For first time I "sacrificed" also an ebay h-bridge. Then I decided to build dsmhb 1.2 , not to throw away again an other h-bridge (only the mosfets ). Well, well. I think I've already consumed the 2nd set of mosfets. The local store here has already a shortage, due to me.
Today one of the mosfets had some fire also. Now, I'm at that I take from it some distance at every test.
I'm lucky, because last week I could see to move my seat. So I know it works, I had it already. Just something else comes always. We say here some "stray current" .
I cannot help you with AMC1.6 . But, some general hints which would helped already to me: isolate everything. I've isolated even the pots, the motor, the actuator rods from each other and also from the frame. Take care of the pots. Today before I started x-sim, everything was ok with my h-bridge: it was turning my motors with a custom arduino code. But after starting x-sim I've noticed, that one of my pots was weird. I did not pay much attention on that, and when I pushed "Start" the motor was just turning for and backward very fast and very small and within some seconds the fire was there.
And one more: I made a proper cooling for the h-bridge also, with heat sinks and cooler.

hey guys how much dof support this module?

[vicpopo]

Amc1.6= 2 dof

[gamerbeter]

i want a module to support 6 dof.can someone get me a link to i start?

Read the first post, read the signature.

Hi all,

Anybody here knows how works the feature to change the pot limit range with the potentiometer ?

When I trun the pot the porcentage number change from 5% to 95%, but I really don't know what that means.

If any guy here can explain it to me I'd appreciate it.

Hi,

Since Firmware 1.1f the range of the end limits deadzone is defined with a potentiometer connected on pot3.

I have read the first post a lot of times, but I still don't know how that feature works, what I know is that when I turn the potentiometer connected on pot3 the porcentage value on LCD screen changes from 5% to 95%, but what that means ?

If I let it with 5% what is gonna happen ?

I hope you understood what I mean.

Thanks
