The acceleration and deceleration values used in Motion Studio and the software libraries can be understood as raw values, percentages, and time. This guide explains the two unit systems, duty units per second for duty commands and QPPS per second for speed commands, and how to convert between the different views.
Motor Controller Selection
The three motor specifications that determine the right motor controller: voltage, running current, and stall current, plus how to estimate stall current and size a RoboClaw around it.
Understanding Motor Specifications
Motor specifications — voltage, current, speed, torque, and power — describe how a motor behaves and determine the battery and motor controller you need. This guide explains what each specification means and how to use the stall current to size a controller.
Selecting the Proper Battery
How to choose a battery for a robotics project: compare LiPO, LiFePO4, and lead acid chemistries by voltage, capacity, and C rating to match your robot’s power and run time needs.
