My 6 DOF with ODrive

Hi, what firewall do you mean?

Cheers

So the output to the controllers in always a positive value?

Cheers

yes

Hi @pmvcda

the output from FlyPT doesn't seem to be always positive, can I do something about this?

Cheers

I will take a look today.

Edit:
Yes, there's something missing...
It's working for rotating actuators. Might have missed some crop on the linear ones.
I'm correcting it... Should be a new version today.

Edit#2:
Where did you see the negative values?
Was it in the interface? Because when you choose to see the output value on the serial, the value is not updated.
The field uses the position in mm and that can be negative.
It's an interface update error, because I use the same field (with another size) and just change the value.
I will make a correction, but in the serial output it seems OK.

Hello, I've reprogrammed my controllers to work with the negtive values (I saw them in the serial debug function) but I have another problem. When sending positions to my controllers with the command: p 0 <Axis1a><13> it works but there are two motors per controller so I need to send p 0 <Axis1a><13> p 1 <Axis6a><13> but this only seems to output to one of the actuators. How can I solve this? I've tried sending positions with 2 seperate outputs in the FlyPT interface but this doesn't seem to work because you can only connect with one command for each COM port.

Thanks in advance

Is it expecting value 0 and 1 or the char value of "0" and "1"?
If it's 0 and 1, try: p <0> <Axis1a><13> p <1> <Axis6a><13>
Because with that string you are sending the char value (look at the serial debug)

Hi

p stands for position, the 0 and 1 are for motor 0 or motor 1.

My output is 'custom decimal', it doesn't seem to work, the ascii caracter 13 is 'end line' so it prints on the next line in the debug, I can't see it very well but I think it only sends oen 'p'.




What can I do about this?

Cheers

Hi

I found the problem, the space between the commands was not expected.

I still can't get lfs to work properly, can you help me?

Cheers

Are you in cockpit view? LFS outputs data, only in when we are in cockpit view.
With Simtools or direct from the interface?

Here's a screenshot of my cfg.txt:

Your file should also have around 215 lines and the darked area is what you should change.
If the file is small, it's because you didn't complete a race yet. So go to the track and make a race of 1 or 2 laps to generate a complete cfg.txt

Does this work in any gamemode you play?

Yes. Even replay (with cockpit view)

It doesn't work, I've already deleted the file and let the game create a new one and it keeps saying: "trying to connect with LFS, but it's not sending data!"

Anything else I can try?

Cheers

Also, try to disable the firewall and test to see if it works.
You might have to allow the application on the firewall.
Can't remember anything more...

Can it be something with the instalation folder where it is placed?

Cheers

I don't think so, mine is in the second drive inside a folder and it's working.

EDIT:
Do you have another program using port 4123?
Try running everything as Administrator.

The administrator trick worked! Now, is it possible that the programme slowly moves back to the Original position because now, it kinda stays in the same postition.

Cheers
