Revolution firmware and software for AMC1.5+1.6

OK.
But you can delete sensors deadzone by setting SensLo = 0 and SensHi = 255. If you'll set SensLo = 255 and SensHi = 0 - the direction of the motor will be changed. :yes:

I did that, but with the current firmware it keeps rotating as there are no physical limits if you know what I mean. The firmware needs rework to handle full 360 degree rotation.

For example if its at 355 degree position and get a command to move to 2 degree position it should follow the shortest path keep increasing, cross zero and then stop in 2 degrees (356,357,358,359,360,1,2). Otherwise it will do a full counter clockwise motion as the position code naturally should act as it doesn't know what's happening in real world except of the sensor readings.

Yes, it is. Now firmware can't work with 360 degree rotation, because I did not have such technical specifications while working on this version of firmware. But I think, if it will be interesting, there are no problems to make version, which will handle full 360 degree rotation.

Hi Prilad,
I've got the new AMC 1.6 board with 22,184 Mhz Crystal like Thanos (all come from him) .
I change the baud rate in the driver and now it's OK.But I've got always the same message.''Can't open the port''.I changed the file ini because in ini was the port COM 5 declared.I changed to COM4 (my actually configuration board on port COM4) and now I can open the soft without this error.
But I can't read anything on the soft , the pot , postion to reach don't display in the soft.There is a communication because the leds red and green are flashing but nothing in the soft .When I choose receving , sending ,display settings anything 's dysplaying.
Below my file .ini copied :

Thanks for your help

NB : I've got in the AMC Board the firmware version that comes from Thanos not your version .I could understand that Thanos was using your soft Xsimcontroler modified with the crystal frequence but with his firmware (v 1.1) in the atmega.Does it right ?
I try too using the terminal application comes from Thanos and when I scan the port COM4 I saw like him all the data who are coming from the board.
He shows that in a video inside the XSim.de forum.
data are like this :
AMC1611 128 750 128 800 (Motor1 position 128 (axe middle) 750 pot1 position and Motor2 position 128 (axe middle) 800 pot2 position )

Hi Gilles,

You have mixed up the firmwares... My firmware is not compatible to talk to ALE's control program!!! The datalogging feature is not intended for that!!

You need to load this firmware that is compatible with his control program:
AMC16_mega644_22mHz_byALE_fix3.zip


That's why you can't connect to it...!!!!!

Hi Thanos ,
OK I supposed that Ale's control program was compatible with your soft.
I progressed a little bit ... it doesn't work 100%.I not yet connected a motor , I have to finish all this thinks for testing the amc1.6 with Prilad softwares (the controler and the program in Atmega).
In fact I just would like to reproduce what you shown in your blog , that means for me that my board works .
I saw your video testing the AMC 1.6 with the controler and I saw that you connected the jumpers as like as the board programmation and that you removed the 3 jumpers attached near the 4 DIP Switches.
Do I do reproduce the same configuration for using the software?
I put a picture above.

Thanks Gilles

You don't need to remove the three jumpers, just turn the three DIP switches to off position leaving only the first DIP switch to position 1.

Just connect a motor (thru a motor driver) and a potentiometer like on the video to see how it works. Play with the values and the software to get yourself more familiar with the role of the values. You are lucky you can do this with ALE's software in seconds, I had to fiddle with the values in firmware and do hundreds of reloads and experiments while developing my firmware.

Don't forget to transfer the project on x-sim.de!!

Why????
There's no software for our firmware.
Generally there is no sense in the new forum without free software.

Of course there is... The free version works as before. And if you get your project there, you will be granted with stage2 key that allows all extra features.

I think that priald refused this offer.
Version 2.8.0.9 no worse than 3.0.0.6

I don't know what offer you mean. The version 3.0.0.6 has more features than the 2.8.0.9. Among them are graphics motion capture driver (3D motion extraction), automatic profiles, and OBDII data emulator for external OBDII readers or custom dashboards. And many other fixes that I cannot list here.

The free version of 3.0.0.6 only requires internet connection. Apart from that what is wrong with it? Come on x-sim.de and explain what you need from it or if something doesn't work as it should and it will be fixed. Bug reporting is critical part of evolution of the x-sim software.

As Tronicgr mentioned X-Sim 3 is still completely free so I have no idea where this remark comes from (please do some research before shouting stuff like this!)

The only additional requirement is an internet connection for the rest the base (free) version is way better than the old 2.0.8.9 and has more features.

Only if you want to make use of the advanced features you'll need to either put some effort into the community (with a decent project topic) or for an offline version do a small donation.

NOFI but If people keep sticking to the old software (and website) it'll come to a point that the development of the software will stop (luckily we managed to prevent this for now) and this is bad for everyone with a DIY sim.

I just keep wondering why it's so hard to see this? Is it that people are having troubles letting go what they are used to? Are you guys allergic to progress? Or ............ ??

Our project developed several auto-simulator fans. Sirnoname proposed only one key. Prilad refused the key. He believes that it is unfair compensation. Therefore it makes no sense to present project x-sim.de.
Now the X-Sim 3.
1. Not everyone has internet in his garage or basement. So for me it remains X-Sim 2.
2. If you want to project developed and have good feedback? You must ensure that all users complete version of X-Sim 3. Not everyone is ready to project his show to get the key. This is just one of the reasons for the collapse of the X-Sim 3.
3.

For me this is a great amount. Need to work a week :no:

P/S
All we can offer this knowledge and practice

Sorry for English. Translated in Google.

Sirnoname added the stage 2 part etc. to get more effort out of the community since a project like this is dependent of contribution by community members!

A lot of people just want all but don't want to do a single thing back for it :thbd: this way contribution from people who are willing to put some effort into it are rewarded, people who are just leeching don't.

If you need to work a week for € 30,- to be honest I think you need to find another job.
If this is true: Isn't a software package like this worth a week's work?

Next to that if you can afford (building) a sim this amount is only a little part of the total costs as well.

Regarding the stage 2 key: I'm very willing to see what I can do to get keys for all whom helped develop (as far as I can see: you and prilad)

Thanks for the advice. Not every country cares about its people. I can not ensure their good work.

The main work here was
Active participants were five.

Sorry, looking back this sounds more harsch than it was intended :

I'll see what the others think of it!

Hi Mr. Prilad: :hi:

yes this is a good brighter wider screen ...

did you see the last results ...?

Where?
