Handling potentiometer blind spot

I'm using a 3583_0 potentiometer and a RCC1000_0 servo controller. I want to be able to turn the potentiometer clockwise until the servo reaches its MAX, and turn it counterclockwise until it reaches its MIN. It should take at least 2-3 full turns to go the full distance between MIN and MAX. My code...

Re: servos becoming unattached after period of inactivity

That seems to have finally fixed it. Zero errors since that firmware update! How would I have known about that update? I didn't see any indication that a new version of the Control Panel was available, and I actually looked specifically for that just days prior to your reply. Are there plans to incl...

Re: servos becoming unattached after period of inactivity

We definitely considered both bad cables and EMI.

I just replaced all of the USB cables (and extensions) with new cables purchased from you yesterday (9/19/19). Attached is the logs from the power up just after the cable upgrade till now.

Re: servos becoming unattached after period of inactivity

There have been a few errors in the log since the update, but (so far, at least) the game has been working fine. Some of the USB cables are too short and use extensions, and most appear to be low quality. I already ordered some appropriate length quality cables to replace them. I will definitely let...

Re: servos becoming unattached after period of inactivity

Thanks! The SBC isn't connected to the internet so I never got notified of any updates.

I upgraded all of the Phidget packages. Do I need to (or should I) upgrade the Debian packages as well?

Here are the two most recent syslogs. Let me know if you want further back.

servos becoming unattached after period of inactivity

I apologize in advance, I am fairly new to phidgets. I inherited maintenance duty on a large interactive game that has a random, but persistent bug. It uses 30 various phidgets connected to an SBC running a jetty server (Java). There is also a Raspberry Pi attached to a touch screen that starts the ...
