Re: Voltage output update rate

Communications on all hub ports are independent, and will not have an effect on the rates on other ports happening at the same time. However, if you intend to send commands to multiple Phidgets at roughly the same time, you will need to use the asynchronous version of the commands you are calling. T...

Re: Cannot set high precision rescale factor

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This limitation only applies to the control panel example. We are working on a fix right now.

You should be able to set any rescale factor you need in programs you write.

Re: BLDC runs faster forward than reverse

Are you certain your wires are hooked up correctly? There are several ways to wire up a BLDC motor, some of which will almost look like they're working, but won't behave nearly as efficiently as expected.

Re: Voltage output update rate

If you're asking about waveforms in terms of bandwidth, chances are the OUT1000_0 will not be sufficient. A quick benchtop test shows my OUT1000_0 has a maximum update rate around once every 8ms, with some jitter. (+/-1ms) For the sake of some minor market research, what kind of bandwidth were you l...

Re: Controlling a relay board with VINT Hub Phidget.

You do not need a pull up resistor when using the Digital Outputs from the HUB0000 ports. They are push-pull outputs that will provide 0V when off and 3.3V when on, no external hardware required. For completeness, the primer that applies to the outputs on the HUB0000 is: https://www.phidgets.com/doc...

Re: about Phidget21 and Phidget22

setOnAccelerationChangeHandler is likely the function you are looking for. Specific code samples to get you started for your device can be found here: https://www.phidgets.com/?view=code_samples&lang=Python Any other API calls you may need (with examples) can be found here: https://www.phidgets....

Re: Error Code 7003

To connect a Ratiometric sensor like the 1131 on a VINT Hub, you will need to set the IsHubPort parameter to True from the corresponding VoltageRatioInputStart.VI

Re: Wide Field of View Distance Sensor

We do not specifically have distance sensors with a wide field of view. The idea behind narrow field of view distance sensors is to keep the sensing area well defined. As you widen the field of view of a single simple distance sensor, it becomes less clear if the nearest object in that field of view...

Re: Latency of Vint and Motor Controllers

It looks like your are using asynchronous function calls (BeginSetTargetPosition), which will queue up if you are calling them faster than they can be dealt with. Simple solutions could be to either use synchronous calls (myMotor.TargetPosition = x), or ensure you are limiting asynchronous calls to ...

Re: Correct Sensor Type for MOT2002_0 ?

A sensor type for MOT2002 has been added to the latest release of the Phidget22 library that will automatically filter incoming data and provide a 1 if there is motion or 0 if there is not. It is actually 3 sensor types (MOT2002_LOW, MED and HIGH), corresponding to low, medium and high sensitivity. ...
