3 servos for robot arm interfering big time

system · April 30, 2012, 11:50pm

Is the Arduino ground directly connected to the servo PSU's GND? Its ambiguous on the diagram.

Hi I'm sorry that is an error in the schematic

The arduino ground pin connects to the ground bus i created.
Its not hooked to GND directly on the PSU even though its really the same thing

its run to the bus

No one has any ideas?

I think your wiring choise is bad. Power your pots from the arduino instead of the servo power supply. Also, putting capacitors on servo motors has yet to solve any servo issues in my experience.

The pots are reading in nice clean and smooth signals i can watch them on my scope with exactly the values expected. there is no deviation or spikes in the supply as this was the first thing i checked.

Thats not the issue. But thanks for the idea and input its much appreciated.

So you monitored these parameters while the servos are dynamically not acting as expected? Static measurements won't identify the issues. One final thought on "Thats not the issue." You have a lot of stuff that you consider you have done correctly (powersupply, pots, etc), but one or more are not as you think.

What do you mean debug output?

There is no debug output 16 lines of code thats it

By "debug output", I mean getting the sketch to tell you what it knows it is doing, not what you think it should be doing.
Sometimes, the differences in those two outlooks can be quite illuminating.

Try reading reply #14 again.

Shouldn't take long.

Maybe it isn't the issue, but it would be good to eliminate it from inquiries, don't you think?

Do you still get the problem if you have all the servos connected but only move one of them at a time?

Do you still get the problem if you remove the input sensing and move the servos through a predefined sequence of positions?

Electromagnetic interference on the servo control wires seems unlikely to me. I think more likely causes are:

floating earth
brown-out on a power supply
pwm moutput on the Arduino being distorted by something that prevents the timer interrupts from triggering/being handled promptly
hardware or logic fault in your sketch causing the sketch to command servo positions which are incorrect. Debug trace output would make this obvious.

What is being asked for is to put serial println statements in so that every pass through loop() you can see what the inputs and outputs are doing. You are assuming that they are correct, but they may not be. Unless you print them out you will never know. It will put out a lot of numbers, but those numbers may have a clue as to what is happening.

You ask for help, the hardware is in your hands and not ours, we need to see some data to make any further suggestions.

I have run 3 servos off an Arduino powered from the USB and had no problem so I am fairly confident that the servo commands work just fine.

What size wire are you using to connect things together?

automagp68 · May 1, 2012, 4:16pm

Hello

Ok here is the latest. Im trying to get everyones answers so you guys can keep assisting me.

Thanks in advance

What i just now is i took out the analog read and ran all 3 servos together. I put it in a loop with the values incrementing and they ran all together with little problem

So with that being said, what does that tell me. Well I'm not really sure.
From what i gather is the following

the Servo map or code is not the issue.

Im either not reading analog values correct--Which i doubt because it works one at a time.

Im not reading analog correct when I'm reading more then one at a time. -- debug report on reads coming in 5 minutes

orrr.............

Any ideas after this development

trying to answer all ur questions

the wire size is actually pretty large. for this project as i usually work with high voltage.
its being done with 20 gauge wire 600v rating 2 amps

So with that being said, what does that tell me. Well I'm not really sure.

Maybe it is your inputs then.

But we won't know until we see the debug output.
Or maybe that's not the issue.

This is a serial read of the pot values

They are as expected

Is this what you refer to as a bug report.

The values coming into arduino are as expected

What makes no sense is they work one at a time.

If there was some major issue in wiring why would they work one at a time?
Thats why im stumped

DEBUG OUTPUT!

Sorry

Wrong terminology

Is that not what you wanted. Thats a print of the analog read

Im doing the best i can and i appreciate all the help but if you want something specific please tell me. I will post anything you would like

I have another report for you in one second

Here is some automated code im running now And EVERYTHING works as expected.
The problem lies when i start the analog read

Check this out

        pot_tilt_pin_value = map(tilt_val, 200, 1000, 20, 150);   
  
  delay(1000);

  Serial.print("\t");
  Serial.print(pan_val);
  Serial.print("Grip Value");
  Serial.print("\t");
  Serial.print(grip_val);
  Serial.print("tilt Value");

  Serial.print("\n");
  
  delay(1000);
  
  pan_servo.write(pot_pan_pin_value);                              
      delay(400);
  
  grip_servo.write(pot_grip_pin_value);                              
      delay(400);
  
  tilt_servo.write(pot_tilt_pin_value);                             
      delay(4000);                           

  grip_val = grip_val + 200;
  pan_val = pan_val + 200;
  tilt_val =tilt_val + 200;
  }
  
  else{
  
  grip_val=20;
  pan_val=20;
  tilt_val=20;
  }

}
  
}

Im sorry i know its not the best format im trying to do it quickly

The pots and servos where being turned manually by my hand

The servos where connected as usual but not in use

I was just reading in values and printing them

automagp68 · May 1, 2012, 5:32pm

Here is another print on the way in 2 seconds of the analog read values while they are actually moving the servos. Lets see if they jump around under load right

automagp68 · May 1, 2012, 5:39pm

check this out

As you guys suspected.

I printed the analog read values under load and normal operation

I moved only ONE POT the one on the far left of the print.

It appears the values of all the other analog reads are moving one i just move one pot while its under load. Some issue perhaps in PSU flucuation under load.

Perhaps i should isolate the pots power source. The board itself should have enough power to give the pot a reference right? There is no load there

zoomkat:

No one has any ideas?

I think your wiring choise is bad. Power your pots from the arduino instead of the servo power supply. Also, putting capacitors on servo motors has yet to solve any servo issues in my experience.

Its fixed

Im just an idiot and did not listen

@zoomkat

You were correct. I apologize for not listening. You were 100% correct. Thank you for the suggestion

@everyone else on the board. Thank you for all your help and helping me improve my debugging skills.
I learned a valuable lessons.
Dont assume anything is working as assumed with electronics.

Now i can turn my project in.

Thanks again fellas
