Troubleshooting Feelix
Solutions to common issues with Feelix.
- Check if your computer recognizes the microcontroller when its connected via USB.
- Make sure you are trying to connect to the right port. When Feelix recognizes the microcontroller, the vendor will be displayed.
- When using an STM32 microcontroller, make sure the device is in RUN mode.
- Make sure the port is not in use by another program (e.g. Serial monitor of the Arduino IDE)
- If the microcontroller is not recognized, press the RESET button while the microcontroller is connected to the computer. For Teensy more details on troubleshooting the connection with the Teensy visit https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/troubleshoot.html.
- In case the microcontroller is not recognized, test it on a different USB port or computer if possible. The STM32 board uses USB2.0.
- Try to restart Feelix in case the microcontroller is recognized by the computer but not by Feelix.
- Make sure the right number of pole-pairs are specified (see hardware settings) If not, recalibrate the motor.
- Check if the motor is receiving power
- Check if the supply voltage in the motor settings is similar to the power supplied to the motor
- Check if the sensor is still working
- Upload example code from the SimpleFOC library to read the sensor valueArduino IDE => examples => simpleFOC => utils => sensor_test => magnetic_sensor => magnetic sensor spi example
- If the sensor value is not read, check your wiring. In case there are no problems with the wiring, the issue is probably caused by a broken sensor.
- Issue occured after update? Go to 'help' > 'development tools'
- Search for 'application' in the development tools
- Clear all data
- Restart Feelix.
- Check if SimpleFOC library is installed
- SimpleFOC version 2.2.3 may not be compiling, downgrade to 2.2.2 or 2.2.1 to resolve the issue
