Dec 2009 - full range backdrive loops

• Backdrive was -31000 to +21000 (full range), robot applied either a constant +3 amps or -3 amps. This plot is versus time. JR3 data is correctly alligned with robot data.

• Previous experment with data ploted WRT to robot motor rotations - notice the periodic relationship in the forces wrt to motor. Also - the 0.5 motor position shift when switching from +3 amps to -3 amps is appearent.

Dec 2009 - dynamic tests

• 3 amp discrete discrete sine waves applied. This plot is versus time.

Dec 2009 - static test

potential function @ BD -11000, sweep -9 to 9 amps (in reverse BD experiment)

• The backdrive motor was fixed at -11000, and the robot current was stepped with the following pattern: 0.2, -0.2, 0.4, -0.4, 0.6 amps, ..., 9, -9 amps. After the current step the system was allowed to settle. The LW was collected via RS232 - appx 87 samples averaged. This plot consists of appx 12 hrs of collection the full experiment cycled the backdrive motor from 21000 to -29000 (steps of -2000). This plot contains only the instances where the backdrive motor position == -11000. The LW (charge amp was not zeroed except at the very start of the experiment and its drift is apparent.)

force dependence on BD position (forward BD motion)

• the BD motor was driven in the forward direction on 12-15-09 - the result was a strong dependence of force on BD position. Ltf_matlab_source#ltf_bd_dep-121509.m

• Bench test with +-6 amps for 20 hrs

early experiments

resonance observed developing belt thrash test

• Holding the BD motor fixed, driving the robot motor w/current mode square wave at specified frequency.
