Hi,

I tried running the motor by sending target speed command via uart. It ran successfully.

However, the  return value of the MotorSpeed from the IMC102T controller via uart is a very large number of 2bytes.

How do I convert this MotorSpeed read value to actual rpm of the motor?

Hi @sudip_k,

Motor Speed in RPM can be calculated using this formula:

Speed in RPM ={ (Motor Speed( 2 bytes) / 16383) * Motor MAX RPM( Configured in MCE Wizard) }

Please let us know if any further details are required. 

Thanks,
