Ok soooo, I've just been trying a few thing on the controller here's what happened:
- I've started the controller and the error was still there. I opened the front pannel and pressed clear error. To my surprise, the error cleared. I then tried to power up the motors and the light was flickering on and off. I noticed the emergency button was pushed on the TP, reset it and tried to power up the motors again. The error poped up again... I then noticed the emergency button was pressed on the controller too and reset it as well. I tried playing with the door and clear error for a while, to no avail.
- I then started unplugging the umbilicals one by one and got many errors that would not clear. With the JT5 error appearing and disappearing for no apparent reason... Removing all umbilicals did not clear it definitely tho. And at some point the TP just powered off entirely and I decided I was in over my head and needed to report
Based on the inconsistency of the error I'm thinking of something like a short-circuit in the controller box that depends on the position of a cable, although I'm really confused at this point...
Nicely done......hope you used low current fuse wire, or else you could end up with a smoking TP.
Could just of popped without any real cause, but just keep your eye's open for any repetition of it.
Yup, I picked the wire of a 0.5 A Fuse as you advised, and with the screen going black again I'm thinking it comes from and underlying Issue.
Nah, that won't be associated with that.
Current sensor is inside the power block assembly (block at the bottom with a 1GB board mounted to it).
That fault is being generated from that and from experience, the issue is usually attributed to an internal component fault.
However, definitely check the external umbillicals for shorts, robot internal harness for shorts and also JT5 motors stator resistances.
Yeah, I was thinking I might have pinched a cable while opening the controller or sth. I'll be looking for a short to ground on the pins of the X3 -> X5 plugs now I guess. Do you know where I can find the wiring diagrams for C-controllers so I have an idea where to look ? I'm guessing the issue is inside the controller since the error doesn't clear with all the umbilicals unplugged...
I'm feeling stupid for only thinking about it now but there is an entire wire harness that's disconnected since I received the robot (you should be able to spot it at the bottom of the controller picture). At first I tought It was ripped off during transport but then I noticed the connectors had been bridged. Since there is a molex type connector missing on the side of the controller I figured it was just for the missing controller and forgot about it. Now I thinking it might have been wise to let you know sooner...
Have a good evening and night !
