Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Hey guys and gals.. Supposed to go help with a cart the next couple of days that already has freedom turned on using the dongle. From talking with Bob, he told me that before working on a cart in that state that freedom needed to be turned off and other parameters changed back to what they were or you could risk corruption of the controller. Anyone know what those are?
And another glitch. I bought a genuine ftdi cable from Newark and when I plug it into my laptop it doesn’t recognize it. Tried to tell it to go use the same driver as my working cable and no dice. Is it because I am using windows 10 ? Fdti prog doesn’t see it either. |

Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Well tried another machine and let it download a newer driver. Need to try it on a cart but think my cable will be okay. Just need to put some ends on it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- That being said, this needs to be told to everyone out there attempting to learn by writing controllers with Factory or Development level programmers... FSIP recently reported to me that motor current calibration related memory corruption errors are on the rise in RXV controllers being sent in for cores or repair... While I know some of this is related to Overvolt and Undervolt Cutoff errors causing improper controller shutdown sequences, which will write specific known currupt values to one or both of two locations, those are easy to identify... More recently, it is looking like people are messing around with settings that they do not understand, and they are causing memory corruption to other peoples controllers... Those of you doing these things, you cannot just rewrite the original file back to correct those issues. Motor calibrations are a live write operation, not addressed by writing a previously saved Parameter file back to the controller. Bob |

Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Sounds like fsip is getting wise. Thanks Bob. My plan is to get an rxv non freedom mode, set it to mode 4, and take a snapshot of the controller parameters. Then apply the dongle and take another snapshot. Print out the two and compare. It will be a couple weeks but I will post what I find.

Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Was going to try to make an adapter cable tonight using a usb cable. 2 wires are okay but the other 2 are tiny. Can I used sheilded 22 ga or 18 ga stranded security wire instead ?

Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Bob unless you reading this forum is “good” for you and helping with your recovery you need to ignore our silly little issues and focus on getting better. Someone’s cart not running is peanuts compared to what you have going on. Get better young man.

Re: Programming Curtis Controller
Curtis gives some (purposefully?) ambiguous labels to some of the settings. I get asked all the time why the speed doesn't increase on a 1268 just because they "turned M1 FWD speed all the way up to 40" Its a limit, not a command, but that really isn't obvious unless you've read the manual for the controller or at lest done some testing.
