glass scale on MPG input/OAK
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:15 pm
Well, I'm trying something a little out of the ordinary. I'm trying to hook a glass scale up to the MPG encoder inputs on my OAK board. I think I've set everything correctly, but obviously not as I'm not displaying any encoder activity on the encoder screen.
I've set parameter 314 (Axis 7 encoder) to 15 for the MPG input. I have another glass scale (X) on encoder 5 so I've set parameter 259 (Manual axis) to 2^4+2^6 = 80 to make axis 5 and 7 manual axis, and I've set up the motors as below: Unfortunately the encoder screen does not show any activity on axis 7. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm missing? Also, what is the field DQOA on the Encoder screen?
