I am having trouble changing the speed at which the motor moves using the mav command. If I just use the mav command the motor does not move. If I include the motor command the motor moves but I cannot very the speed. Below is a code snipit. I have firmware version 2.0.3 in the link module and KISS Version 5.1.2 "Lithium"

#define POWER 100 // 100 to 0
#define SPEED 500 // 1000 to 0
#define TRAVEL_TOP 200
#define TRAVEL_BOTTOM 850
#define MOTOR0 0
printf("We will now move the motors\n");
printf("Press button A to start and stop the motor\n");

set_pid_gains( MOTOR0, 30, 0, -30, 70, 1, 51 );

vWaitForTopButtonPress();

mav(MOTOR0, SPEED);
motor(MOTOR0, POWER); // turn motor power to full

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My guess would be the problem lies in your set_pid_gains call. Try without it and see if you get the same problem

I originally did not have the set_pid_gains call in. I do not know the history of the LINK controller and I thought the autotuning of the PID had been run. In any case with or without the set_pid_gains call in it does the same thing. The values I used for the set_pid_gains came from the online documentation.

Does the autotuning of the PID coefficients work? Is there a way to set them back to the factory defaults if the ones in the manual were not correct?

I think you should have to check your code again, may it contain some bugs or you have missed something.

Could you give us your whole test program?

I think it is a good idea if we will see the whole test program.

All you have to do is click the reply button, post something like "I would be glad to have a copy" and then also please include the reason you are asking for a copy. Even though you are considered to be good at programming, you can still say "I could use it for reference" or "I want to make sure best professional cv I am doing things right". There is really no right or wrong answer.

This is the first time I have come across this site and little bit confused about the topic you have described here. We can’t see more description regarding the mav and motor commands specified here. Hope that you have upload the details soon here.anti snoring mouthpiece reviews
