HPO / HSM setup

Hi everybody,

I am a new user of the roboteq controller and I would like to change the settings of the hall sensor position and the hall sensor map, because my motor have an angle of 60° between two sensors.

As these settings cannot be change on the interface, I have written a short microbasic program to setup the controller.


extract of the program :

'Hall sensor position
setconfig(_HPO, 1, 1)

'hall sensor map (0-1-3-4-6-7)
setconfig(_HSM, 1, 0)

But the program cannot be built and I have the compilation errors ""HPO" is not a valid name constant" & ""HSM" is not a valid name constant".

Do you know what is /are the problems that I have?

Thank you in advance for the help

Which controller and which version of Roborun+ are you trying to do this with?

I am using the software roborun rev 1.8 ( 10/27/17)

and I am testing the controller SBL1360 to have a better view how roboteq controllers runs and later I will use an HBL2396.

Hmm, I'm unable to reproduce that error on my end. You should only get it for invalid commands. Check if _HPO and _HSM change color in your scripting window.

If you don't mind posting the code you are trying to build in its entirety, I can also check for any errors with that.

here is my code,

only 3 parameters don't change the color when I edit them (_BRUN, _HSO, _HSM)

I had no problems building that code using that revision of Roborun+. Perhaps there is something wrong with your Roborun installation?

EDIT: For clarification, the only steps I can think of at the moment are to reinstall Roborun+. I will ask some of the Microbasic developers to see if there are any known problems that I am missing.

the thing really strange is that I have the same issue on Notepad ++, I have downloaded the language dictionary and again _BRUN, _HSO and _HSM stay in black.

Do you know if there is another way to setup HSO and HSM without using the scripts?

Yes, you can also set configurations over the controller's serial interface.

Here are the commands you want to send:
The hall sensor map should also appear in the controller's configuration tab.

Also, which firmware is your controller on?

Hey, just a follow up. Ends up that you can't set the Hall sensor position on the SBL1360 anyway, so those commands shouldn't do anything. This is due to a limitation with the MCU in the unit that prevents it from being compatible with newer firmware features. The commands still build in offline operation because Roborun+ builds them against newer firmware. I will let engineering know about this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi thanks for the feedback

Do the engineering have an idea of when the new firmware will be released?

And is this command is available on the controller HBL2396?
