![]() Any mistake here will almost certainly kill some electronics and may even result in a loss of all electronics with one strike. WARNING: Please double and triple check the wiring, especially of the battery power line, before connecting the battery. For example: Do everything, which is possible to do without a connected battery, without a battery when the battery shall be connected the first time or after a modification, connect it first to the STorM32 board with all NT modules disconnected connect the NT modules one by one don't connect/disconnect NT modules when a battery is connected. For setup it is thus strongly recommended to be most careful and follow procedures which minimize the risks. This bears some risks, since the 3.3 V electronics will almost certainly be destroyed when it comes into contact with the battery voltage. For instance, the NT-X plugs carry both of them. The T-STorM32 concept brings the battery power line and the control lines for the 3.3 V electronics in close proximity. Thus, before using the GUI ensure that the STorM32 controller has been put into the desired mode, see Switching to T-STorM32 Mode. The GUI detects the mode and adapts itself accordingly the active mode can always be inferred from the GUI's window title.Ĭomment: The available parameters and options in the GUI are different in the encoder T-STorM32 and the conventional STorM32 mode. It however implies that the firmware needs to be switched to T-STorM32 mode, before T-STorM32 can be used. ![]() compare and evaluate performance differences in the two modes. The firmware allows us to run the encoder T-STorM32 and the conventional STorM32 versions intermittently, by simply setting a flag via the GUI's, without the need of any modifications to the hardware. This results in a two-step configuration procedure: First the "NT motor-encoder module + motor" unit is configured, and then in a second step the settings in the STorM32 controller board are made.Ĭomment: In the following the NT motor-encoder modules are also denoted as "NT motor modules" for brevity. the motors or the encoders are directly connected to the main STorM32 controller board, are not supported (if you want to know why, this picture here shows one of the several reasons).įrom the perspective of the STorM32 controller, a motor and its associated NT motor-encoder module is regarded as one combined unit, and the STorM32 controller doesn't need to know about this unit's internals. It consists of a main STorM32 controller board, NT motor-encoder modules, and a camera NT IMU module. The T-STorM32's concept for the encoder support is discussed in the article What is T-STorM32 about?. ![]()
