Robotic Lawnmower Build
This Customer Project article takes a look at a nicely polished robotic lawnmower build.
Calibrating Motor Controller Voltage Readings
In some cases the voltage read by a motor controller will need to be calibrated to match the actual power supply voltage. This Application Note covers the process of doing so.
ESP8266 Wireless Control of RoboClaw
The poular esp8266 wifi board can be used to wirelessly control a RoboClaw motor controller. This App Note provides example code and covers configuring everything needed.
Limit and Home Switches with RoboClaw
Limit and home switches can be used to stop motors automatically for safety and functional reasons. This Application Note details the limit and home switch features of the RoboClaw motor controller.
Teensy Packet Serial Control of RoboClaw
This Application Note details how to use a Teensy microcontroller to control a RoboClaw in packet serial mode.
Using a Voltage Clamp with RoboClaw
A voltage clamp protects a RoboClaw motor controller and its power supply from regenerative voltage spikes. This tutorial shows how to wire and configure a voltage clamp using either the BasicMicro VClamp board or a discrete MOSFET circuit.
