Position Control using potentiometer? - Chief Delphi

Go to Post

There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. - Rich Kressly [more]

Re: Position Control using potentiometer?

I did some more research, and in the document named
MDL-BDC24-COMM-UM-00 on this page:
http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/mdl-bdc24.html

I found this quote:

Quote:

Position Mode Reference
Sets the reference used for measuring the current speed of the motor. Currently, the only
supported speed reference is an encoder.
Format:
# pos ref <val>
Where <val> is a 8-bit unsigned number

Is this merely a typo, or does that mean that the jaguars cant use a potentiometer for position control?

Has anyone gotten position control working with a potentiometer in either BDC-COMM, or C++/Java?
