This Customer Project article looks at a clever usage of the RoboClaw’s position control system to create a camera tracker.
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.
MoBot Rover
This Customer Project article looks at a build scenario that is common to many of our customers.
Self Balancing Robot
This Customer Project article takes a look at an implementation of a unique class of robots.
RoboClaw Packet Serial with the Pololu A-Star 32U4
The Pololu A-Star microcontroller’s serial functionality can be used to control a RoboClaw motor controller. This Application Note covers the details.
Using Hardware Serial with the RoboClaw Arduino Library
When using serial communication with an Arduino there are two implementations available. This application note covers using hardware serial with the Basicmicro Arduino library to communicate with a RoboClaw, and why it is usually the better choice.
Ground Path Issues
When using a motor controller improper grounding can cause damage to the motor controller and also to devices attached to it.
Velocity and Position Error Limits
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.
Actobotics Mantis Build
In this Customer Project article we take a look at a robot build meant to tackle the great outdoors.
Phoebe Turtlebot
A user on Hackaday has developed a low-cost alternative to the Turtlebot platform for use with the Robot Operating System. In this customer project article we take a look at the details of the project.
