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.
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.
General Settings in Motion Studio
BasicMicro Motion Studio can be used to configure every aspect of the RoboClaw motor controller. The bulk of the configuration settings are made in the General Settings section of the application. This Application Note details the sections and settings contained within it.
Layout and Common Operations in Motion Studio
BasicMicro Motion Studio contains a large number of features and tools. This Application Note is the first in a series that explores these features one by one and their usage in practical applications.
RoboClaw Basics
The RoboClaw is a rather sophisticated motor controller with a wide range of features and functionality. This Application Note will be a broad overview of the board, its features and tips on its usage.
Pololu Encoder Wiring
Encoders allow the RoboClaw to provide accurate and consistent speed and position control of motors. In this Application Note we’ll be wiring a common motor and encoder combination to the RoboClaw.
Selecting the Proper Battery
Selecting a battery for your robotics projects is vital in ensuring your robot will have the power and endurance you’re looking for. There are several properties of batteries you’ll need to be aware of make the right choice for your project. After reading this App Note you’ll be informed enough to make the right decision.
RoboClaw Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC)
Often a robotics project will need multiple voltages for different parts. A Battery Eliminator Circuit is one way to have multiple voltages present in your build without the need for a second battery.
Analog Control with RoboClaw
There are many control schemes available with the RoboClaw. One of the simplest control schemes is analog control. Analog control allows for an analog voltage to control motor speed and direction.
