The major change on the 1047 is going to version 200, where it will no longer allow use with Phidget21 libraries (our older version of the libraries). If you are using Phidget22 libraries, this won't affect you. However going to 301 is advised. Downgrading is an option if 301 introduces any new prob...
Yes you are right, the user guide doesn't make it very clear that that is not a function of the device itself, and only a function of the Control Panel Example. The velocity calculations have to be coded in manually when writing your own program. This is done in the onPositionChange event by dividin...
The best way to do this is by Serial Number. All USB Phidgets have a serial number, so your VINT Hub will have one, and the 1047_2B will have one. These numbers are always printed on a sticker on the device itself, but can also be found by opening the Phidget Control Panel - the serial number will b...
What is your CurrentLimit set to? With max acceleration, you should see the duty cycle go from 0.0 to 1.0 in 10ms. If the device is current-limited, it will bring down the drive strength to meet this current limit. Using a current limit of 0.5A vs 4.0A could definitely cause a slower acceleration, n...
I believe you could use a HUB5000_0 in place of your USB VINT Hub, and then use a PoE splitter, giving you 12V and ethernet at your HUB5000. Then use the network to communicate with your devices. This is obviously a bit more expensive but it is an option, especially if you are using a number of rang...
