setcancommand not working

5 years 4 months ago - 5 years 4 months ago #29533694 by vannem
setcancommand not working was created by vannem
The goal was to modify the pulse input mechanism to match the motion of the controller stick with the motion of the robot base.

Here is the script I am trying to work:
top: 
 ' Correcting the steering

 pulse1 = getvalue(_PI,1)
 pulse2 = getvalue(_PI,2)

 min_forward_pulse1 = 1510 
 min_backward_pulse1 = 1470
 min_forward_pulse1 = 1514 
 min_backward_pulse2 = 1474

 factor = 1/20

 if(pulse1 > min_forward_pulse1) then
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 1, factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 2, factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 1, -factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 2, -factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))

 elseif(pulse1 < min_backward_pulse1) then
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 1, -factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 2, -factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 1, factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 2, factor*(pulse1-min_forward_pulse1))

 elseif(pulse2 > min_forward_pulse2) then
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 1, factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 2, factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 1, factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 2, factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))

 elseif(pulse2 < min_backward_pulse2) then
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 1, -factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 2, -factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 1, -factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 2, -factor*(pulse2-min_forward_pulse2))

 else
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 1, 0)
	 setCANcommand(1, _G, 2, 0)
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 1, 0)
	 setCANcommand(2, _G, 2, 0)

 end if

 goto top

This is the error i am getting when i am trying to simulate it in Roborun:

Hey Vannem,

I haven't looked at your script in depth or at the error you get yet, but the first recommendation I want to make is to use the wait() function at the end of your loop in order to give the control some time where it doesn't have to run the script during operation.

Our simulator doesn't have CAN built into it, so unfortunately you will not be able to simulate CAN commands. It will work when it runs on the controller however.

I tried running it on the system. It didn't work. Is my usage of setcancommand correct?

I can build it. Looks like it should run.

Can you clarify what the error is in your system? If it is not properly sending commands over can, please ensure that your wiring and CANID set up is correct.

The nodes are alive. My second node is another hdc2450. Am i supposed to run any script on that?

No, additional scripting on the slave node should not be necessary. Do you think you can show a picture of how you have them wired together and also post your configuration profiles?

This is the wiring setup.

I did ICL(is can node alive) and it worked(see below). I used robocan thru ros( ros ) as well.



I tried " !CG <cc> <nn> " and " !G <cc> <nn> " in the console and the results are a bit odd. Only the front 2 motors would move for both of those commands.

I also tried uploading a basic test script which didn't work at all either. Here it is. {Simulation worked fine}
top: 
 ' Correcting the steering


setcommand(_G, 1, 25)



 end if
wait(50)
 goto top

I am not sure what to do to solve this issue.

Are your nodes configured to use Robocan?

Yes. I did set up robocan in the config and set the node id and listen node id for both master and slave controllers.
