Today we will be covering how to configure and wire the RoboClaw motor controller for one of the most common control and drive schemes in robotics. In this tutorial we will show how the RoboClaw can be used in a differential drive robot controlled via an RC radio system. This may be the final configuration for your robot or a step in testing your hardware, either way you’ll see that configuring the RoboClaw takes little time and effort.
The RoboClaw motor controllers incorporate several key technologies. This article is design as a quick overview of some of these technologies.
