J3 Jittering
I've just completed the construction of my AR4-MK3. Upon testing, I've discovered that J3 is not working. Everything else is working great, and it's difficult to hold in my excitement! But J3, when I jog it, jitters. It just somewhat shakes. Sometimes I get the "J3 Collision or Motor Error" log. When I run J3's calibration, it jitters for the first half, but moves smoothly during the second half (weird...). I also ran the encoders test and all seem to be working, including J3's encoder.
It would seem J5's limit switch is not working, but I imagine that would not affect J3. J3's limit switch is in fact working. Additionally, when powered off, I can manually move J3 very smoothly and easily. No mechanical friction that would prevent a motor from turning.
could you send a quick video of the jittering so I can get a better idea. info@anninrobotics.com
The soldering job for one of my J3 wires was loose, by the way. An embarrassing mistake...
