In this Application Note the LCD screen of an A-Star microcontroller is used to display the encoder counts of a RoboClaw motor channel.
The values used for acceleration and deceleration in Motion Studio and the available software libraries can be understood in several terms. The App Note looks at how to make sense of the various ways they can be interpreted.
The RoboClaw and MCP motor controllers have a new safety feature based around errors in the PID system. This application note takes a look at what it is and how to use it.
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.
This Application Note covers using the BasicMicro Arduino library to control one or more encoders attached to a RoboClaw motor controller.
