Re: Difference in Drift when using Phidget Control Panel vs. Python

Regarding the IMU vs AHRS, the difference is that the Magnetometer is ignored for the calculations, however, non-magnetometer-based AHRS parameters can still be set to affect your device while in IMU. It is possible that your set parameters are different while in python, which could affect the amoun...

Re: TC K probe no longer detected on TMP1101_1

I think it depends on the thermocouple. Which one are you using?

Re: TC K probe no longer detected on TMP1101_1

The "Bad Connection" error occurs when the hardware detects that there is no reasonable connection between input and its associated ground. This typically means the thermocouple is screwed down incorrectly in the terminal block, or is broken. Since you have double checked your connections,...

Re: Offer liquid pressure sensors?

Not that I'm aware of. I think your best bet would be to find a 0-5V output-type sensor and use it with an analog input.

Re: Measure current drawn by stepper motor

One of the most reliable ways to looks for issues on the stepper motor (stalls, etc) is to use an encoder on the motor, since the encoder will tell you exactly what the motor shaft is doing.

Current monitoring could be a very difficult way of interpreting stepper motor behaviour.

Re: RC Servo Phidget strange behavior

Yes, sorry, I used the wrong nomenclature. You need to set TargetPosition before setting Engaged to true.

Re: RC Servo Phidget strange behavior

The "Must-Set" property for this device is TargetPosition, meaning you have to send a target position to the device before enabling it, or else it won't let you enable it. This is because if you don't set a target position first, it would be up to the device to decide where to go initially...

Re: New Parameter for Connect and Open

open() can be called instead of open(phidget22.Phidget.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT), which will open it asynchronously. It will require attach events to know when it gets opened.

Re: DST1000_0 and DST1001_0 Out of range error when no object is present

For the sake of these products, there is only 1 error (Out of Range). So if you don't register errors for this device, it should behave the way you expect it. Errors can always be curated on a per-error basis as well. In your own application, you can choose to do nothing with errors you don't care a...
