Hi everyone!
I'm having a really strange problem with the OC DCMotor- and StepperMotor-software that is supplied by OC. Like any other question, I don't get any answers in their forum, so I'm holding my thumbs that someone here might have any idea about the problem.
I have one DCmotor-card and one StepperMotor-card, both USB, from OC installed on the computer I'm running SIOC on. When running these via the extra application that is supplied (not directly in sioc main program), the motors run fine and I can do all the necessary settings that is not available when just running directly in SIOC.
The problem is that all the motors, both steppers and dc, stops moving (freezes) after a random time (somewhere between 1 and 30 minutes). If i restart the application, the motors starts again. If I run these motors directly in SIOC main program, this doesn't happen, but then I cant feed negative numbers for the steppers for example.
Any ideas? I could probably run everything via the SIOC main program if I could get the steppers to go below 0 degrees (now they start going up again if I set them to a value below 0).
Thanks!
