Important Notice
Some analog joysticks do not cause the potentiometer to reach either extremes.
This may cause the analog voltage range to be above 0V and below 5V when the
stick is moved to the extremes, and therefore the controller will not be able to
deliver full forward or reverse power.

Power-On Safety
When powering on the controller, power will not be applied to the motors until both the
Channel 1 and Channel 2 potentiometers have been centered to their middle position (2.5V
on each input). This is to prevent the robot or vehicle from moving in case the joystick was
in an active position at the moment the controller was turned on. The “no ctrl” message
will scroll on the LED display while the controller is disabled.

Under Voltage Safety
If the controller is powered through the Power Control input, and the motor battery voltage
drops below 5V, then the controller will be disabled until the analog commands are cen-
tered to the midpoint (2.5V on each input).

Data Logging in Analog Mode
While in Analog Mode, the AX2500/2850 will continuously send a string of characters on
the RS232 output line. This string will contain 12 or 13 two-digits hexadecimal number rep-
resenting the following operating parameters.
