  1. Hi All,

    We're looking into what could cause this issue at the moment, thus far we haven't been able to replicate it in-house.
    To help us troubleshoot the issue, could I ask anyone who is having graphics issues in PCLink to do a dxdiag dump and post it in this thread.

    To do a dxdiag dump:

    1. Open command prompt
    2. Type "dxdiag"
    3. Select "No" when prompted about driver verification
    4. Select "Save All Information"
    5. Upload the saved txt file

    This will help us understand the systems these issues are occurring on and any common trends they have. No identifiable information is collected during a dxdiag dump.

    Until we can get the issue resolved, what ThreeTrees discovered below could potentially help some people.

    Ok so I solved my issue.

    My problem stemmed from the fact that this laptop has two graphics cards in it.  One is an ATI Radeon card that's integrated with the motherboard (Display 1), and the other is the NVIDIA Geforce card with the gaming horsepower (Display 2).

    Somehow windows decided that it was going to use the ATI card for PCLink and that is ultimately what caused my issue.  I was able to go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics in windows and force it to run PCLink using the NVIDIA card, and that has solved my problem.  Everything is working correctly again.

     

  2. The Razor PDM will have no problem running all the requests outputs.

    I would suggest looking to run each fuel pump on a separate high power output as each pump can draw up to 17A as each high power can supply up to 30A continuous. 

  3. Currently the ECU must be used as a gateway. In the next firmware release direct PDM to PDM communication is possible to allow for scenarios like this, with support for each PDM to directly communicate with 3 other PDMs.

    We're hoping to have this release out in the coming weeks.

    It was mentioned that windows 7 will be supported in the future at the software download location, but is there any plan to support it?

    We initially intended to support Windows 7, but after further testing on Windows 7 we found that we wouldn't be able to continue development of PDMLink and maintain compatibility. 

    Since then, the decision has been made to discontinue attempts to support Windows 7

  5. PDMLink was initially intended to support Windows 7 but due to incompatibilities and the outdated nature of Windows 7, PDMLink doesn't support Windows 7.

    You can find an online version of the PDMLink help manual at: User Manual | LinkECU Documentation Centre (link-user-wiki.herokuapp.com)

    When using an output in H-Bridge mode, the current is running in series through each pin so the current capacity is the same as a single high power output.

     

    A way to ensure the current limit isn't exceeded is to limit the range of duty cycle in the H-Bridge. This shouldn't limit the range of motion of the motor but would reduce the torque slightly at the end stops.

  6. The Razor PDM doesn't currently support parallel H-bridge.

    When driving a motor using H-bridge the maximum continuous current is 25A, however the current can peak higher for a limited time.

     

    Is the 33A rating the stall current or rated current of the motor? If so, the normal driving current is normally lower than the stall current so the Razor PDM should be able to drive the motor.

    We would like to mount the electric power steering system for mini cars manufactured by Daihatsu, a Japanese manufacturer
    It requires a maximum of 33A and the ECU master H-bridge will meet the voltage requirements, but we are unable to set up the detailed operation.
    If possible, RAZR PDM would be ideal.
