In this Customer Project article we look at a rover that can be controlled from any device with a web browser.
Wallace Rover
Wallace the Rover is an autonomous tracked robot built by a user on Instructables. This build is a good demonstration of the proper way to protect and use a RoboClaw motor controller.
Robotic Snow Plow
In this Customer Project article we take a look at a handy robot for those living where winter brings snow.
Auto Tuning with Motion Studio
In systems with a PID controller the proportional, integral and derivative values must be set properly for the controller to operate well. Motion Studio features software to automatically tune these values for a motor and encoder combination. In this Application Note we’ll look at how to use it and fine tune the results.
Graphing in Motion Studio
Motion Studio feature the ability to graph different aspects of a motor, encoder and the controller against each other in real time. This Application Note covers the use of this feature.
SGVHAK Rover
Before the JPL open source rover plans were released to the public the members of the San Gabriel Valley Hardware Hackers Group built a rover based around the pre-beta plans developed by JPL. In this Customer Project article we look at the technical details of their build.
Position Settings in Motion Studio
The Position Settings window of Motion Studio is where the control loop for positon control is tuned and tested. This Application Note covers the controls and settings of this widow and what they are used for.
Agent 390 Build
This Customer Project article looks at an excellent build of the Agent 390 kit from Actobotics.
Velocity Settings in Motion Studio
The Velocity Settings window in Motion Studio is where motors and encoder are tested. It’s also the location where tuning of motor and encoder combinations is carried out. This Application Note details all of the functionality within this section of Motion Studio.
PWM Settings in Motion Studio
This App Note is part of a series on the usage and features of Motion Studio. This article covers the PWM Settings window that is used for motor and encoder testing.
