[quote=PhilBot;771468]Yeah, that's what we get too. Something to consider....
The motor controller (don't know if it's S/W or H/W) has a 2 second timeout. So if it stops getting commands, it will continue to do the same thing for 2 seconds and then coast to a stop. This often explains the driving in a circle effect: if only one motor is running when the commands stop.... it circles for 2 seconds and then rolls to a stop.

Where did you learn about this? This seams to be the issue?


Also from farther up the thread, do you know any way to have a non-linear scaling that isn't a memory hog?

Thanks,
