Constant speed for an unbalanced load
I have a machine that uses a Dart 253g to drive a dc motor. The arm if an offset arm that rotates.. We have tried to balance the arm the best we could but the load is still off. What happens is as the heavier part of the arm is on the upswing of the motion, the drive cranks up the torque and pushes it up and over the peak of the rotation. The problem is, on the way back down, the load takes off and "freewheels' around until the upswing starts again. Would a constant speed drive help eliminate this? This machine has no feedback on the arm
Thanks in advance
Ken
You will need a regen or 4-quadrant drive to provide dynamic braking. A tachometer will always help with speed regulation(only on the upswing with your current drive, though).

How to setup auto paddle & constant speed for ball
I wanted to setup an automatic paddle so that this game will works as a one-player game. I have 3 files here. Ball.java, Play.java and pong.java.
My code below doesn't seem to get the paddle moving at all. How can I do so? What's my mistake or how should I do it correctly?
Pls help....:(
Also the ball runs faster and faster after each volley and the ball deflects at a smaller x-axis angle after hitting the rightWall & leftWall. How can I get a constant velocity as well as a more balance deflection??

}Hi,
For creating the deliveries automatically you can use the T.code VL04 in the b/g or run the program RV50SBT1 in the b/g every 2 hours. This can be done using T.code SM36, this is where you set up the job. Here you can specify the details and the timing.
For creating the TO's for the delivery, either you do it through the config setting or run a similar job in the b/g and TO's should be created automatically.
For some reason if you find deliveries are not created you may use V.22 and give the Log number(which you will get from the job log) and see the reasons for delivery not being created.
hope this helps. -
I 'm a light user of Labview and need some assistance.
My objective is to make the dc motor retain constant speed even when a load is applied.
The tools I have to acquire data with are:
NI USB-6211
Labview 8.2
Optical Encoder - 1000 pulses per revolution
My main concern is writing the PWM VI to do this.
My first guess is to set use a DAQ assistance to acquire a signal as a counter input from the encoder.
Not really sure what to do with that because I am kinda lost from there.
How would I use that info to adjust the PWM of the output signal?
All help is appreciated.Hi jgarcia,
this doesn't work at all. Your application requires closed loop control. This means you need deterministic behavior (= stable timing of the control loop) for single point I/O operations. With your setup this is not possible due to the fact, that both the USB and Windows introduce a lot of jitter (using a PCI DAQ device would make things a bit better, but you still couldn't get reliable control behavior on a Windows operating system). For a control system reliable timing is at least as important as proper tuning of the control parameters.
For motion control tasks it's much better to use a device like the PCI-7342, that runs all control operations in a realtime environment onboard. Other options include using a realtime operating system and PCI or PXI DAQ hardware or a cRIO-System with drive interface modules. For a single-axis system, the PCI-7342 is probably the most cost-efficient solution.
Sorry for the negative answer, but with your current hard- and software setup you will could easily waste a lot of time on a poor solution.
Kind regards,
Jochen Klier

Load_hdi: timed out waiting for driver to load
Howdy,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my computer refusing to mount disks, images, etc. This seems to start after trying to mount an external hard drive (passport from western digital). After plugging in the passport, I can no longer mount external hard drives, disk images, etc. After I reboot, I can mount other exteranl drives and images just fine. This behavior was replicated after I rebooted and tried to mount the passport again. Does any one have any idea what may be causing this?
Here is what I got from my logs:

PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)Today I did a bit more troubleshooting. From the Terminal, the command-line tools for working with DMG files gave me the same error. So, I did a Safe Boot of my Mac, holding the SHIFT key from the tone at restart until the gray loading screen appeared. It took quite a while to get to the login screen, and towards the end of the wait, the fans on my G5 were running at full-speed. I was able to open disk images, so I repaired permissions and then reinstalled the latest security update. Rebooted back into my normal desktop and everything is working now. I am not sure what the problem was. It's fixed now. Hope this helps.

My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick. Any suggestions ? ThankYou
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Ideal fan speeds for a 20" iMac
Hi,
I have a mid 2007 2 GHZ 20" Intel iMac, I recently had some unexpected shut down issues which I traced to a defective optical drive fan. I have SMC fan control loaded and it tells me that the DVD fan went off-on-off-on, I also ran an extended hardware test and that confirmed the bad fan, I replaced the fan and that was the end of my problems. However, I have been fooling with the fan speeds and now I am wondering what the ideal speeds for all three fans in my machine are? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
RollyI think you have to balance the need to run cooler against running the fans so fast you wear out the motors quickly. In general, it's probably best, at least for prolonged periods, not to run them any higher than maybe ~400 rpms above the defaults. But that's just my own guess. I don't have any statistics on what fan speeds are ideal for attaining that balance.
Then again, fans are much cheaper to replace than drives, logic boards, or power supplies.
I have maybe 5 or 6 pre-sets, including the defaults. This is one setting I often use in summer, but I may sometimes go a bit higher in very hot weather. I also have a fan running at the back, which helps keep the internal temps lower and allows me to run the internal fans slower than I would otherwise. In extremely hot weather, it's pointless to blow hot air around faster. When it's like that I sleep the computer more often.
These are the defaults on my 21.5 -
Can't select "Variable Speed" for Still Image Motion
I am using FCP 5.1 to add motion to still images. I've placed my still images on the timeline and added the appropriate keyframes in the Motion tab of the Viewer to Scale, Rotate, and move the stills on screen to my liking. But the speed is locked to "Constant," and I want to change that.
Specifically, am rolling a still image on-screen, freezing it in the middle of the screen a few seconds, and then rolling it off-screen. Doing this is easy: I just add a keyframe and type in the off-screen coordinates, then add another keyframe and type in coordinates somewhere on screen. But I want to vary the speed that the image rolls on-screen, so it moves on-screen quickly but then gradually slows down until it finally stops (freezes) in the middle of the screen.
Unfortunately, the "Setting" popup menu under "Time Remap" in the Motion tab of the viewer is grayed out and locked to "Constant Speed" (and yes, my still image clip is indeed selected and being displayed in the view). I cannot figure out how to unlock that popup so I can select variable speed.
I can choose Variable or Constant speed just fine for any imported "video" clips -- only still images are locked to Constant for some reason. Is this just a feature limitation of FCP 5? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks.Why so much sarcasm in this FCP forum, Studio X?
Yes, it was in the manual, which by the way is quite large. And I didn't say how long it took me to spot that in the manual either -- a long time. I didn't spot it the first time I had read through that section (yes, I had read it before). And the fact is, you didn't know it either, otherwise you may have cared to point it out (for not only myself, but for others reading this forum too).
I participate in numerous other forums on other sites. Many times, people ask questions that are very simplistic to me -- I know the answers and I know those people putting forth the questions could easily have looked up the answer. Nevertheless, I take time to be helpful to others. For truly, some day I may be in their shoes, lacking time to read every part of every manual out there.
I am therefore thankful to those who likewise respond in a tactful manner to my queries, with the productive aim of helping others rather than condemning them. Thank you, David Harbsmeier, for being consistently positive and very helpful in this forum! -
Acceptable range of speeds for this line.
Dear Forum,
I have for many months now been on the phone to Bt with regards to the fact that when I run the speedtester the results for the acceptable range of speeds for this line dose not match up to BT's own table within their broadband speed wizard. Below please find the latest speedtester result and the table taken from said area.
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed
1825 Kbps
0 Kbps 2000 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1825 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400-2000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :2528 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2000 Kbps
Write down your test results and use the table below to check that your throughput speed is in the right range for your connection speed.
Connection rate downstream test result: Throughput speed you should expect:
288Kbps 50Kbps to 250Kbps
288Kbps to 576Kbps 50Kbps to 500Kbps
576Kbps to 1152Kbps 200Kbps to 1000Kbps
1152Kbps to 2272Kbps 400Kbps to 2000Kbps
2272Kbps to 8128Kbps 600Kbps to 7150Kbps
I keep getting told that they can't change the acceptable range of speeds for this line to read 600Kbps to 7150Kbps as this was originally set when I first took broadband from BT, but surely they can rerun the test's that set up this configuration so that the acceptable range of speeds for this line reads as above.
I used to, prior to a length of main cable being replaced back in May of this year, between the exchange and the street box, get a DSL of between 2648Kbps and 3020Kbps. When the cable was replaced, they replaced 9Guage with 5Guage. Also it has been found out by two engineer's that about 325Mtrs from my property that there is a sudden drop of 1000Kbps. Both BT and Openreach seem to think that this is acceptable. I don't and niether do my neiboughers, who are also affected.
Please get back to me with a reasonable answer to this. Not like when I dealt with Mods in the past and they would only answer one part of the problem.
Thanks in advance.The bit loading is not great on that liine ....
And it's little to do with the metallic path specification you referred to in another post.
One thing is certain, Openreach operate to strict codes of practice, and don't just install any old wire ....
The noise margin is not bad, target is 6db ... but the problem there is that you have a high forward error count
which demonstrates a profound level of interleave, which does cause some latency.
It's the bitloading that's causing the high error count.
Sometimes a RF3 filter, fitted by Openreach can cure some of this ... sometimes not.
But the CRC, cyclic redundancy checks, are re-transmitted packets, and therefore do absorb bandwidth.
Also the errored second count is high, these are seconds which have seen bad error rates.
I don't think you'd benefit by going into the test socket either, as most errors are downstream and margin is
fair, the CRC up errors are false, a result of poor scripting in the hub firmware.
You could try buying quality line filters, or using a v1 splitter socket face, but to be honest, your line is your line,
and that's why the broadband is line adaptive ... to cater for all quality levels of lines.
Yours is not the best I've seen.
You could try a reset at midday, often gaining a higher sync rate, as much as 400-500kbps.
No more than 3 resets in 24 hours, DLM will downgrade the IP.
Glad to have helped you ... perhaps not what you wanted to hear though. -
Mac Pro, Fans fire up full speed for no reason - randomly!
So, here is another fan issue with the Mac Pro, and I am at a loss. Perhaps someone can help me with this one. I have a Mac Pro I bought in mid '07, dual 2.66 GHz. I have 2 7300GT video cards, which don't have fans of their own to be making the noise...
The computer, when left doing nothing will ramp up full speed for God knows what reason. There is usually almost nothing open for applications, and no major processes running. Menu Meters shows the processor load to be minimal, not a heavy load that would cause heat-issues from processors working hard.
There is really no way to get the fans to slow back down either. The machine is still fully functional, I can open, close or work on software, so nothing is "frozen". I have quit all applications to no avail. The machine will not go to sleep when this occurs, and half the time will not power off using the shut down menu selection either; requiring a forced shut down. Upon reboot, it is fine... (until it decides once again to take off).
This is not the fans roaring when waking from sleep issue, I have had that one as well (bad ram).
Thoughts?Last night, after I shut down, my fans slowly ramped up into high gear. They went to full rotation, and I let it whirr for four or five minutes, thinking it would shut itself off. It never did, so I just pulled the plug on the CPU. I plugged it back in five seconds later, and it stayed shut down after that.
It's been working more or less flawlessly other than this... most stable Mac I've ever had. -
Setting different mouse speed for different mice
I have an Apple Magic Mouse that I've used with my iMac for a while. I recently picked up a wireless Kensington laptop mouse for my 4 year-old twins to use because the Magic Mouse is difficult for my daughter to use. The Kensington mouse is good because it is smaller and has two obvious buttons for her to use.
The problem is that the Kensington mouse tracks way faster than the Magic Mouse. Is there a way (either through preferences or third party software) to set a custom speed for each mouse?
thanks!USB OverDrive can customize speeds and button behaviouir differently for different input devices. You should remove the Kensington mouse driver. However it does look as if it disables Apple's own Magic Mouse drivers without replacing some of the facilities, so you would need to research that before proceeding.
Also note that USB OverDrive is so far not compatible with the Magic Trackpad, and prevents the latter's Prefs Pane from loading (thus preventing you setting gestures) so if you were thinking of getting a Magic TrackPad, USB Overdrive isn't a good purchase. -
Network speed for spatial oracle-Arcsde databases
Hi all
I am working in a oracle -ArcSDE production database environment. The data size is huge and more than 100 users are connected to the database. Wht should be the Reccomended Network speed for the database?
Thanks in Advance
AlbinAlbin,
Obviously the faster the network, the quicker you will move data from the database to the client. However, in most cases (at least with a 1Gb network) I find that the neither the database or the network are usually the bottleneck with ArcMap, but instead the client-side "SDE"/rendering process. This is especially true when returning large numbers of geometries. The 10.x engine just chokes on anything more than a few thousand objects, and unfortunately the render model they use causes a full refresh on any movement / zoom, repeating the painful process over and over.
In a nutshell, it is simply a poorly designed architecture for today's loads. Our custom Java WebStart GIS client runs circles around it. Hopefully the new project they are working on will improve performance, especially when using native SDO_GEOMETRY data - but I haven't really had time to pound on it yet to verify that one way or another.

Is this normal fans speeds for MacBook Pros? See videos of my MBP in action
I can't figure out the fans on my MacBook Pro. The lowest normal speed for the fans in 2,000 rpm. They will spin up at times for no apparent reason to 5,0000 or 6,200 with nothing taxing the CPU while it's also pretty cool, usually around the high 30's or low 40's celsius.
The other night I was converting a movie with Visual Hub, with the process taking 80% of the CPU and the temp reaching 75 c with the fans staying at 2,000 RPM until about half way through the eight minute conversion. This is a time I would have expected the fans to kick in much earlier than they did.
I have reset the SMC previously with no effect. Coming from a Polycarbonate MacBook this machine is much nosier, but also much cooler running.
Check out the videos I made showing iStat and Activity Monitor during these episodes. Thanks for any feedback. I'm coming to the end of my 14-day return period and wanted to verify if my MBP is operating like others.
VIDEOS HERE.
Thanks for any feedback.Thanks everyone for your comments and suggests.
S.U. -- I ran the Apple Hardware Test when I received the computer and it found no problems.
Travis -- Thanks for the insight to what normal range is for the MBP.
I opened a case with Apple to get the ball rolling and get assigned a case number. The tech on the phone could not look at the videos but didn't think there was a problem from my descriptions. He did suggest I take it in for a look.
Online I made a reservation for the Genius at the Apple Store that night. While I was waiting I was curious how other MBP's handled some serious thrashing. Since it was late and nobody was in the store, I loaded iStat Pro on three of the MBP's and opened Terminal. In two windows I ran yes > /dev/null and let them run.
On all three machines the fan speeds never got higher than the lower 4K rpm range. They all settled in around 90C and stayed there. One MBP ran these processes for about 40 minutes and the highest fan speed I remember seeing was 35XX RPM, and again around 90C, but it would fluctuate up or down a few degrees.
When my appointment came up I showed Rex, my Genius rep (Cleveland, Legacy Village store), what I had done on their machines just to get some perspective on how other MBP's handled both cores running more than 90%.
My MacBook had been asleep for a few hours. When he woke it up the fans went immediately to 4200 rpm and stayed there. He hooked up a super-duper, special, double-secret HD via firewire and booted off that. The problem persisted.
He took it in back to crack it open. He was looking for any loose connections but found none. He could not find any errors but agreed that something was amiss with my MBP.
He was not sure if my computer, being a refurb, was different when it came to returns. We called Apple on my cell, got a rep, and he arranged for them to take back my Mac since I'm within my 14 days.
So props to Rex for his great customer service and a happy ending. -
Ken Burns Effect - Variable vs. Constant Speed
On a test slideshow I worked on in iPhoto, I noticed that the Ken Burns effect uses a "variable" motion. Meaning if I'm utilizing the zoom effect, it'll start out slow, then speed up, then slow down again for each photo. However, I just want a constant speed zoom for each photo.
Is there away to have the Ken Burns effect zoom (and/or pan) with a constant speed?100 brownie points to Terrabay! LOL
For those that don't know how Terrabay arrived at his solution: iMovie DOES let you dictate how long your transition (for ANY transition) is when you put it into your show. When you press editing and go into transitions drag the transition you want into your time line - you can adjust how long you want it to be and which direction you want it to go before you put it in your show, and if youve already put it in but want to lengthen/shorten it, just click on your transition in the time line, make the change and press UPDATE. Simple. -
My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. I can't do app store apps (like snapchat or facebook, ect.) or apple apps (like Camera, Safari, ect.)It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...

My motor runs at a constant speed
i have a
PCI 7342 controller.
MID 7654/7652 servo motor drive
motion control software
motion assistant 1.1.
I have setup the hardware connection.
When I try to run the motor using the motion assistant the motor runs at a constant speed irrespective of the velocity that I specify in the motion assistant.My motor velocity is 7 voltage per 1000RPM.The motor keeps running at a constant voltage of 25volts.I donot have a encoder but I have a tachometer.
pls help.Hello Sumitha,
In order to use servo motors with National Instruments motion controllers, you must have some form of position feedback. This is required due to the PID control loop implemented on the controller. Without some kind of control loop, there is no way to guarantee that the motor will get to the commanded position following the specified trajectory. Servo Tune is a tool used to adjust the PID parameters, which in turn control the stability of your system.
If you do not have any way of adding position feedback (such as a quadrature encoder), you will not be able to make full use of your motion controller. It is possible to simply read a voltage in and output a specified voltage from the motion controller. However, you lose all hardware timed control and all the benefits of a motion controller. If you are interested in that option, a DAQ board might work better for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend looking into adding a quadrature encoder to your system.
