Also check with the IT Staff to see if the key request was blocked by an e-mail filter. The key request file is send out as a .TXT file. If you cannot get a key file through your company's e-mail system, you may choose an alternate e-mail address so you can receive your trial key. If you are having issues obtaining a trial key send an e-mail to Siraoops@outlook.com and let us know so we can assist you.
Motors that you expected to see in the program are not in the drop down menu. That is because the motors did not have the complete specifications to be included. The required specifications are free speed, free current, stall current, stall torque and the standard specification voltage. Gear specifications are optional. Additional motors will be added by Siraoops, LLC as the specifications become available. Motor manufacturers who wish to have their motors included in this program can send their request to Siraoops@outlook.com for consideration. Adding a motor to or removing a motor from the DC Motor Gyrations program is at the discretion of Siraoops, LLC. If you wish to use a motor that is not available in the drop down menu select the Add or Delete Additional Motors to Use option from the main menu.
To advance between data entry fields you must press tab or click into the field. Pressing Enter will not advance to the next field.
All values in the tables presented are approximate values. This is due to rounding error. These results may not agree with your own computations.
You find that sometimes you get results that seem incorrect. The most common cause is that you put in bad data into the prompts to perform your calculations. This program provides you the oportunity to put in a large range of values which may not be valid when considered with all the data you have entered. Make sure that you enter in reasonable values when prompted for inputs at a prompt.
There is only an Add or Delete option when adding additional motors. You can select a motor from the drop down and edit that motor and add it as an additional motor. Then if you no longer want the original motor you can delete it. It is recommended to name each motor that you create differently for easy identification. You can use the same name more than once and just vary the name with a number. Motor naming is not enforced. Duplicate motor names are allowed. Name your motors wisely.
The motor list is too long to scroll through. Just type the first letter of the motor you wish to select and the drop down list will zero in on it fast!
Editing the Motorinfo.csv file outside of DC Motor Gyrations may could make the file invalid. It is best to add and remove entries with the data entry program. If the file is damaged, it can be deleted and you can re-create it.
You may notice in the Motorinfo.csv file that it might be delimited two different ways. Both methods are acceptible and it can be ignored.
When computing a gear reduction you see no results. This occurs because there are no solutions for the reduction you requested with the gear set that you have used. Trying using a different gear reduction if possible.
You are only presented with a few gear solutions. A reason for this is that you have a large range between the smallest and largest gears with fewer than 6 gears. Gear sets that contain gears which are closer in teeth size allow more gearing solution options.
The reason for the 6 gear limitation is that the gear combinations must be computed. Practically speaking you would most likely use 2-4 gears at a time. Therefore if you are going to create your own gear set, select up to 6 gears that you would be inclined to use most of the time that are multipes of the smallest gear.
How do I read the charts? When the data being presented has a signficant range difference, a double Y axis was used to create a visual representation. If there is a signficant range difference between two or more entities being graphed, you will be presented with a line/bar graph combination. This make it easier to compare two charts that are side by side of each other. If there isn't a significant different between the entities being graphed, a line respresentation will be used. The first graphed entity will use the Y-axis on the left side of chart. The other entities graphed will use the Y-axis on the right side of the chart. To know the exact value indicated in the chart, refer to the table above the chart.
When I copy the list of motors created by the List Motors program to the clipboard and paste it in I get extra columns. The extra columns are the optional 6 gears. If gears were specified for a motor they will be displayed. If the motor has no gears defined then each of the 6 gears will be zero.
Charts cannot be directly copied to the clipboard. You can use the snipping tool from Windows 10 to copy the chart to the clipboard for pasting. All tabular charts with the accompaning header can be copied to the clipboard for pasting. Click on the chart of interest and press Control-A keys to select the entire chart. Then press Control-C to copy the chart to the clipboard. Then press Control-V to past the chart from the clipboard where you need it.
