Are team is currently trying to figure out how to wire the bosch seat motor, we cant find anything on how to wire it either.
Green to red
Brown to black
Tied off rest
which wires go to speed controller
Are you trying to wire it open-loop, or closed-loop? If closed loop (that is, with encoder feedback), know that the Bosch motor tach output does not transition low enough to show up as a zero/low voltage input for the RIO DIO, or most other digital inputs. To get the Bosch encoder to work with most digital inputs, you will need the AM Bosch seat motor DIO kit, or something similar.
We have the chip for the DIO and we are trying to figure out how to program this so that we can get placement of the motor. We are a rookie team and was wondering if you or anyone could give us some help on programming this.
Thanks Dale
So that encoder isn’t as easy to set up as anyone wishes.
Basically, the encoder can only count up. You can tell which direction it’s moving by the output you give to the motor. Programmatically, you can use WPI’s Counter class and plug it into a DIO port.
Our team decided to go the easier route and use limit switches instead.
