TReX mix mode

Does the mix mode not work with serial control?
Thanks,
Colin

Hello, Colin.

The TReX serial interface does not work with mix-mode. That option is only available when operating in RC or analog mode.

Great. Maybe that should be mentioned in the documentation.

My statement above might have been a little misleading. In serial mode, you directly control the two speeds of the motors with serial commands, so mixing simply would not apply (or you could trivially do the mixing yourself on the microcontroller that is sending the serial commands). Can you elaborate on what you are trying to do?

Note that the TReX’s mixing of analog and RC inputs still works in serial mode, so if you want to connect something like a joystick to the TReX and use its analog or RC signal to control your motors in serial mode, you could read the remapped channel values, which would already have mixing factored in, and send commands to each motor based on those readings. In that way, you could using the mixing feature and still be able to issue other serial commands to the TReX with a separate microcontroller.

No, your statement above was clear. It just needs to be made clear in the documentation.

Hello, Colin.

Can you be more clear about what you would actually want? My impression is you are asking for a feature that doesn’t make sense (or the TReX already supports it).
