Spinning after enabling closed loop control

1

I’m having an issue where the motor on one axis starts spinning uncontrollably after enabling closed loop control. The steps I take in odrivetool right after bootup are as follows:

In [1]: odrv0.axis0.requested_state=AXIS_STATE_ENCODER_INDEX_SEARCH

In [2]: odrv0.axis0.requested_state=AXIS_STATE_CLOSED_LOOP_CONTROL

starts spinning

I got a printout of axis0, and interestingly pos_setpoint seems to take a very large (absolute) value (-1.0744717534594085e+24):

In [5]: odrv0.axis0

resetting this value manually seems to have no effect and on a next printout it still remains unusually large.

I’m on 0.4.7. This occurred once in the past and I ignored it, but now it seems to become a repeating pattern.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What is your mechanical setup? I had a similar issue and it had to do with calibration where there was not a consistent load while it calibrated.

Although looking at the motor during calibration it looked as if it was moving at a consistent speeding, looking at the size of the pulses from the encoder on a scope showed they were different. We removed the load during calibration and it has worked fine since.

@Brandon_Lima thanks for the reply (and apologies for the delay, holidays got in between!).

I indeed have an imbalanced/variable load on the motor, but I always remove it when doing motor calibration (but not when encoder is searching for index pulse).

If it’s any help, I solved the issue (for now at least) by restoring an older configuration and reflashing the same firmware (4.7)

how did you solved this issue?? i am facing this issue!
