I have my power expander controlling my 4 motor chassis. One side works flawlessly but the other side jitters. I have a brand new power expander, and 2 y-cables. Anyone know why this may happen?
make sure there are not 2 lines of code for that one motor port that controls the problem side.
Check the orientation of the wires. They may need to be flipped.
Can you give me an example please
so, earlier this year i had my claw on a y-cable with 2 motors and it kept spazzing it wouldnt open or shut.
i looked through my code and the problem was i had it so if i pressed one button it would open the claw at full power then another button would shut the claw at full power. The discrepancy came when i had another bit of code that said if i press a different button it would shut at half power so i could hold the cone without tripping the PTCs. I thought it would be ok, but then @BBBcube3.14 said that wouldn’t work so i changed it and then all was good. i realized later the issue was that when the full power button was pushed it would tell it to go full speed but then the half power button wasn’t pushed so it thought it should stay still.
Also @BBBcube3.14 had the same problem with his claw the issue there was he somehow accidentally had his drive and claw together on the joystick and then other buttons for just the claw so the cortex got the same mixed message.
sorry if this seems confusing it makes sense to me but i know the exact scenario.
quote and ask me what i mean if you need further clarification @RyanR
