Locked Re: GoTo stops suddenly


 

Another point. The power source may not be the issue . Voltage drop is another cause. This can happen from a high res joint or the size cable doesnt match the current ?that is being drawn. .?
Cheers?

Hi Wes,

It does appear to be a power issue.

When slewing with both motors at the same time, in slow speed, it is successful. Using full speed does stall.

We run on 110v grid power, not a battery,

Gary suggested to upgrade our power brick from 12v to 15v. I purchased a 15v 6a brick. However the connector plug is larger than the connector on the powered foot. I am working on that now.

That is where I am on this issue.

Hi Steve, Mike will get you fixed .?

I would like to make comment though .?

If push to works fine but go to doesn't an analysis ?may suggest a power issue???

?Have you checked volts at the scope before and as you initiate a goto ???

I used to run a dodge lead acid battery and halfway though the night the scope would stop mid slew similar to what you are describing.?

Cheers

Hi,
We have a 15" Obsession with both ServoCat and Argo Navis.
We have a problem when we use GoTo on the hand paddle. After about 3 seconds the motors hard stop and there is a beep. Pressing GoTo again, does the same thing.
In the Argo Navis, we have done a 2 star alignment, set the current date and time, and the current location is set, not to our site, but another location at approximately the same latitude.And we know the object is above the horizon.

Instead of using GoTo, we can use the hand paddle for "push to" an object where AN said we should go.

So, any ideas on why we cannot use GoTo for objects?
Thanks
