Re: pic: SPARK
Does it overheat more than previous motor controllers?

Re: pic: SPARK
We are considering ordering these. Our team programs in C++. Is there anything different needed programming wise to use this type of motor controller as opposed to a talon.

Also same to program (basically) as Victor 888, Victor SP, or PWM Jaguar. |

Re: pic: SPARK
Which version? (Talon, Talon SR, Talon SRX)

Re: pic: SPARK
We were thinking if the spark was similar programming as the talon, and talonSR

Re: pic: SPARK
Now when robot parts will be in Lowe's/Home Depot/Menards Stores nation-wide
Would make it easier to fix stuff during outreach events if it breaks (hey, those handy HVAC duct clips worked magic for a temporary fix for a weld that came undone in the middle of a day-long outreach event ![]() |

Re: pic: SPARK
That is a concern for the new mindsensors controller. The graphs they released were...let's say warranting further investigation. I have yet to see third party results on how well they work and whether we should be concerned about overheating, especially with the Rev B version being released so recently.

Re: pic: SPARK
Programming the SPARK is identical to the talon and talon SR.

Re: pic: SPARK
Have you contacted anyone? I think calling whomever you bought the motors from and informing them of the difficulties you're currently having would be a good idea. If you've already done that, might I ask what you've done so far with the motors? Are you stressing them?

I sent this to you in an email also, but if you could tell us a bit more information we will be able to help figure out the problem.
Please also check that power and motor connections. If motor and power connections were swapped, motors could spin uncontrollably regardless of the robot state. If you send us a photo of your electronics setup, it might be easier to diagnosis the problem. Also if you would prefer, we can talk you through it over the phone. You can reply to the email I sent you or send me a private message here on Chiefdelphi. Thanks, Greg |

It's possible that a couple duds escaped any testing they're doing, but for a team to go 0 for 2 on semi-random pulls (we'll assume there's a degree of randomness with Amazon's fulfillment network that picked and packed your Sparks) would surprise me. (Full disclosure: REV donated four Sparks and a Digit board to Team Cockamamie's Robot in 3 Days build this year, and Greg and I have known each other for some time. I'd say the same thing about any brand of speed controller, though.) |
