Precision Wheels Control - Plug'N'Play Motors
2 Axis Wheels / Joystick Control (RS-485 plug'n'play)
Currently in development, although fully working, is our (currently) 2-axis control system. It has the following features:
- RS-485 link, so motors can be hooked onto the communications wire anywhere
- "Intelligent" 1 Button user limit setting, and clear
- Position bar graph of either 360 degree OR point between limits
- 1/100th degree readout
- Auto motor detect
- Adjustable acceleration/deceleration (smoothing)
- Adjustable speed & direction
- Position zero
- Handwheel position reset
- Motors shown are approx 160 degrees/sec @ 28VDC (> 40Nm)
Other proposed features include RF control
