Re: RFID slow to read until solid read, then fast.

I can confirm that I see this behaviour as well. We can look into it and see if it is something that can be fixed via firmware upgrade.

Re: SBC Port going idle after n time

No the device should not ever enter an idle state, it should stay active as long as you have it opened.

1. What behaviour do you see when it loses connection? Is there a detach event?

2. Are you doing anything specific with the encoder when it loses connection or is it happening randomly?

Re: 1067 detach issue

Are you setting the VelocityLimit at any point? if so what are you setting it to? Additionally, what is your acceleration set to, if you set it?

The more info the better so I can try to replicate the issue

Re: 1047 encoder v200 reports firmware upgrade available, where are changes listed on site

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...

The product revisions can be seen on the product page -> Specifications tab, and scroll down to the very bottom.

Re: 1047 API: Specify a counts per revolution (CPR) value to enable velocity

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...

Re: Have both ENC1000_0 and 1047_2B encoders attached, how to distinguish?

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...

Re: Completely bypass acceleration from DCC1002?

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...

Re: Remote Vint Hub ? POE version

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...

Re: What hardware to buy?

We also just released a HUB0007_0 VINT Hub, which is a single port dongle style, if you are only using 1 sensor. If you expect to expand to more sensors, then the 6-port hub might suit you better.
