FORUM
Dear Solo Team,
I am interested in using monitoring mode, but instead of using the motion terminal, I would like to do it in my software. After searching the forum I found your suggestions for Python monitoring mode implementation: https://www.solomotorcontrollers.com/forum/solo-python-raspberry-pi-library/logging-torque-via-python/#post-1248
I was wondering if there is an easier way to do it using your C++ library, rather than writing my own Python code from scratch.
In the C++ source code I can see the function for enabling the monitoring mode 0x19:
bool SOLOMotorControllersSerial::SetMonitoringMode(bool mode)
This function only enables monitoring mode and I cannot get my mind around the best way to handle the values of e.g. motor speed (0x96) coming from the controller through this mode.
Could you briefly explain how can I use your C++ library to achieve that? The code example would be very well appreciated!
PS.
I have seen the Monitoring Mode JavaScript implementation ( https://github.com/Solo-FL/SOLO-Motion-Terminal) but since my JavaScript skills are far from ideal, using your C++ library seems way easier, but I am open for your suggestions. I am connecting the Solo mini to my PC by USB
Hello @pssss,
unfortunately, our C++ library doesn't support Monitoring mode yet, we are working on it to release that feature in the near future, but as the release is not yet planned, I can't provide you a precise date.
Certainly for now as you've mentioned, you can look at our JAVAscript implementation and get some ideas to handle it.
