Volt issue

[Marco Dardari 3]

Hi,

for a few day I have a problem with Volt on my Clipper324:

I turn on the control box as I have always done by aligning the gimbal for the correct reading of the encoder pan position

but when I turn on the motors the gimbal begins to float like when you don't make a correct registration.

After several attempts I can start the system correctly. This happens to me more and more frequently.

For a couple of days it has happened to me even when the system starts correctly between a motor pause and another.

Depends on what? From the encoder cable? From the gimbal cable? Or does it depend on something else?

Hi Marco,

Any new findings? 

Did it happen to be cold outside? I've seen a Volt misbehave a bit in cold weather, though it typically corrected itself after a quick off/on and realignment.

Hi Lisa,

Tiffen tells me it could be the pan encoder sensor,

but I haven't managed to get one yet.
