I just loaded the 4.2 sketch to the teensy board, it seemed to have concluded successfully. I opened the AR4 application, and confirmed the port the Teensy was on, and got "System Ready" in green. I thought all was good, so I connected the 6 motor leads, and the 3 ethernet cables, and proceeded to power the enclosure up. The drives power up with green lights, the robot is locked, so I assume motors are working correctly, but I have no control of anything. I also notice the Teensy light is a very dim orange. I powered everything down, pulled the Teensy out of the breakout board, and reloaded the script as I thought it hadn't loaded correctly the last time. That seems to reload okay, but when the Teensy is reinstalled in the breakout board, and the usb is connected to the controlling pc, it lights up with a dim orange light, and nothing moves. I have retraced my wiring and all seems correct, ...I really took my time with each connection so as to avoid issues at this point. Can anyone tell me how to tell if I've got a defective Teensy board, or, a corrupt script load? Thanks in advance for any help!
Update, firstly, I'm using the 4.1 Teensy board, and the sketch is the 2.2 version.
I have discovered an issue with jack #1 at the robot base. When disconnecting it, I get a bright orange Teensy indicator light. With all motor cables, and ethernet cables connected, (except jack #1) AR4 application loaded, I could jog J4, .....J4 only. I then moved that motor cable through the other motors to confirm they did work, and they did. I did some more reading here and discovered that the drives should be set to 5V, mine were not. I changed that, and now all joints jog. After some troubleshooting, I believe my issue is with the solid brown cat cable conductor on jack #1. Just wanted to share the information.
I recall reading something regarding a wiring schematic typo in the AR4 manual, I'll research that next.
@r8183594 Im sorry for the late reply on this. It sounds like to you are making progress on tracking down a short on the brown 5v circuit. Please keep me posted if you have any questions come up.
