    Hi all! Please help with my little 2dof CindyCar. The green line of the encoder in CMS3Utils freezes periodically. And when the blue vector line intersects with the green one, the encoder comes to life. What could be the problem? Help, please, Cindy is very unhappy.

    Check all your wiring connections.

    What pots are you using and how are they connected to the motor?

    Thanks for the questions! They led me to believe that the problem was in the power circuit. I recently tore off the brush connected to the case, which deprived the motors of grounding. Before that, 12V went through the case and when changing + to -, it loaded the entire circuit through the metal elements. Now there is no such problem. But during operation, apparently, a static voltage is created, which periodically closes to the case anyway. I grounded both motors and it started to work stably. ps: sorry for my english
