Hi,
Like the name states, I was wondering if there’s a library demo method for controlling the HHC modules? I installed the driver, physically plugged in my devices, verified that they are showing up on the device manager as COM ports, yet I can’t get it to work on Venus. First, I want to rule out that I am misusing the library somehow.
Thanks, Nat
Sorry for the ping @EricSindelar_Hamilton, but could I get any help on this? Or any additional manual on setting them up, in case I have missed something?
Hi Nat,
Here is a link to a folder containing the method and a test method. I hope this helps! If you need more info, then please provide more detail on your setup - what platform, if you’re plugging it into a system or using a control box, etc.
Thanks,
Eric
Thank you very much for the folder, as I will test them out shortly. In the meantime, we ran into another concerning issue as I was trying to troubleshoot the driver on my own. The computer of our robot got extremely hot, as one could cook an egg on it.
Looking in the task manager, there were several instances of the Hamilton com logger .exe that were opened and using a lot of CPU, which explains why our computer got hot. I do not know how long it stayed like this, but I guess that the com logger is related to the heater coolers, and the several instances popping up could be due to improper usage of the driver. But I want to confirm that with you.
Edit: As for my platform, I am running on VoV and connecting to 3 HHC via USB to the computer and their power source is connected to the Vantage
What version of the HHC driver are you using? I recommend contacting your local support team to help diagnose and correct.
I am using the driver that is provided in the forum (Hamilton Heater Cooler (HHC) - HSL v2.0 (6603596-01 rev.B)), unless there’s a version specific for VoV?
That should be the latest driver. I recommend submitting a service ticket with your local support so they can investigate and address.
