Hello my name is Anro.
I have been struggling to get the NavX micro working simultaneously with any of the Pitsco motor/servo controllers on the MyRIO. I have tried using the NavX micro on the MXP-boards, although that worked for the NavX and motors, there was not enough current provided to the MXP-boards to power all the servos, but if I increased the current more than 2A, I would most definitely destroy the MXP-boards.
I then tried using a combination of the MXP- board in slot A and the Pitsco board in slot B.The MXP-board's purpose is only to control the NavX micro and get 4 IR sensor inputs, that are connected in AI0-AI3. The Pitsco board's purpose is only to control the 4 motors, 6 servos(using the Pitsco motor/servo controllers) and 4 IR sensor inputs in AI0-AI3. The MXP-board has 12VDC and 5V2A in the different allocations. The combination of boards had the same effect as using 2 Pitsco boards.(see attached photo of code used)The MyRIO would randomly choose a loop and only execute that loop and ignore the other loop. The error code is -61202. The error code means that the NavX micro and the I2C of the Pitsco motor/servo controllers can't run at the same time.
My problem is, I need the motors and NavX micro to run at the same time.
Kind regards
Anro
