Normally when you click on START, and you do move the slider 21, the graph must go up or down depending on where the slider is positioned. We would need some clarification on the engine behavior? Do they follow the graph? If movements are odd-sized perhaps there is a polarity reversal on the potentiometer.

the movement is the same as the graph stephane. I move the pot down and in the graph goes the same direction

So it's ok! What is your problem ?

Sorry to interrupt in this thread, but I have a quick question.
On this page: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/app ... xguide.htm they say that you have to put a 12V battery in parallel with your ATX 12V power supply.
Is this nescessary and is this ok for my battery? Won't it overcharge or drain it empty or something?
Thanks.

the 12V battery will be useful to prevent the ATX power supply is safekeeping because of peak amperage during sudden changes in direction of the motors

That the movement is only in the graph when i manually move the pot. I want to move them with the movement of the motor

Today I want to move up and down to the max and min jejej

P.D: sorry i read again my last post and i didn´t tell that i made it manually. Without movement of the motor

[stephane-d.61]

what do you means by "pot" you talk about the slider 21 or the potentiometer ?
When you move the slider 21 in the test panel, is the motor respond ?

pot is the potenciometer. When i move the slider 21 in the testplugin the motor doesn´t respond, but i have seen an error in the configuration here

In the output axis direct i have select K8055 analog Output 1 and now it works. When i move the slider 21 in testpanel the motor moves
Here is a video (sorry the quality)

But now the next step is moving the motor and the pot as the same time and stop when the get the max and min position. I think this is more difficult
How I make it?

[stephane-d.61]

effectively there was an error between the analog and digital output! Sorry, I looked but not seen the error. Though I've recently been confronted with a member of my forum who had done exactly the same mistake!

I saw your picture where your potentiometer is connected to the motor shaft so what's the problem? it must turn at the seam time as the motor ! no ?

[malpar]

it doesn´t stop when reach the top and the bottom. Max and min in the potenciometers

[stephane-d.61]

check the box "invert reference input" and do a test. I looked at your picture and I saw that there was an inversion of polarity of your potentiometer. Current real value is greater than maximum. This is not normal.

I changed that value and now max is the top of the pot and min is the bottom. I have quit and put invert reference input and nothing. It din´t stop the motor. Do you make the test in testplug or in other side?. I´m thinking than in testpage we are saying the motor to move one or other direction but nothing that make top up and down (only stops with slider in the middle)? or this is the job the config of max and min in the other part of x-sim program.
I don´t know really what is happening
