Unfortunately, as you have noticed, implementing an all-encompassing "isBusy" function on the motor position controllers is not as straightforward as checking any one set of conditions, as the motor being "busy" will mean different things in different systems. For the greatest ce...

When using a TMP1101, it is important to ensure the thermocouples you are using are electrically isolated from each other on the sensing end (not touching each other or connected metal surfaces)

Do you see this issue when using individual, separate thermocouples on each TMP1101?

Generally more is better, but there is an upper limit to how much additional benefit you gain once you cover most of the sphere or circle, depending on calibration type. Note that calibration is only really effective if the sensor is moving with the machine/assembly it will be attached to, and will ...

Thanks for following up! We didn't respond as it sounded like your issue had been resolved. However, you may be interested to know that your post did inspire us to look into localizing numbers in text fields in the Control Panel to ensure stability regardless of the operating system's language setti...

The Spatial sample in the Phidget Control Panel is also crashing for you? That seems particularly unusual. Both magnetometer calibration and the Spatial sample are stable when I run them using that version. For completeness' sake, what firmware version are you running on the MOT0110? You can find th...

What is the text output of the program if you run this code, specifically? from Phidget22.Phidget import * from Phidget22.Devices.VoltageRatioInput import * import time def onVoltageRatioChange(self, voltageRatio): print("VoltageRatio: " + str(voltageRatio)) def onError(self, code, descrip...

When you run the example, do you see a set of changing voltage ratios? Alternately, if you check the "Error Event Handler" box, do you see a set of error messages? You can also try lowering the gain of the bridge input to see if the value is out of range for the default (highest) gain mode.

What do you see if you try and run the code sample for the device? In your case I recommend checking the "Error Event Handler" box in the sample generator, to see if the device is actively reporting error codes. And I'm sure you've already checked, but I also recommend making sure the conn...

How much time are you leaving between opening the Phidget and reading it?

Some Phidgets can take 100-500ms to initialize before they report their first valid data.

A returned value of 2 from PhidgetDigitalInput_getState() is a signifier for "Unknown". This typically occurs if you try and poll the value too soon after opening the device, before it has a chance to report its actual state. You can also check the return code [code = PhidgetDigitalInput_g...
