Re: Controll Phidgets motor without laptop

It will need to be controlled from some form of computer. Typical options would be a PC/MAC (laptop/desktop) like you've been using. Depending on what motor controller you're using, if it is a VINT motor controller, then you can use the Wireless VINT Hub to control it wirelessly from the laptop or a...

Re: 3051_1B: does white wire in Phidget cable get a signal?

for the 3051, the white wire isn't hooked up to anything. The device is connected to the analog input purely for providing power to the relays.

Re: Setting Data Interval

You will need to set the interval after it is opened, currently you're setting it prior to calling open. A good place to set it is in the attach handler.

Re: DAQ1500 getVoltageRatio()

getVoltageRatio() does not return a register value, it returns the voltage ratio, ie Vin / Vref.

0.099039V/5.047V = 0.019623V/V

Re: Detect hub connected to USB

The best way to monitor the state of devices being attached/detached is through the Manager object. There are examples of how to use it available. If you want something specifically for the Hub object alone, you can create a Phidget22.Hub object with attach/detach handlers similar to the other senso...

Re: Software update 1.6.20201120

There was an issue that caused STC100X/1067 to detach at very low acceleration in certain scenarios. That was fixed. Also fixed an issue that caused inaccurate accelerations in certain situations. In order to assure accurate accelerations at any point, we suggest not changing acceleration while the ...

Re: Dead Phidget 1012

USB chip, which chip is that?
Regarding this, replacing the chip would leave you with no firmware. So the device wouldn't do anything.

Re: DST1200_0 is stuck in sonar quiet mode

It looks as though a value of 340.4 m/s was used. 331.3, to the best of my knowledge, is used for 0C. Any errors due to temperature swings (ie if you're temperature changes 20C while measuring your 4m distance), would be pretty unsubstantial. Off the top of my head, 10m/s error is about .1% error, w...

Re: DST1200_0 is stuck in sonar quiet mode

Yes this is unfortunately an issue of cable length/current draw, the v-drop is pretty severe at long cable lengths, so the only solutions would be to: increase cable size (lower gauge); lower cable length; a combination of the two; or to run in quiet mode.

Re: windows 10 64 bit, install does nothing

Can you confirm if this installer works on a different computer if you have one? I am able to run the installer fine here. That looks like a system error rather than an error from our installer. In the meantime we can take a look for any problems.
