Head Improvements

Motor Improvements

Tuning the motor controller

RS-232 protocol enhancements

CAN command added

Future Improvements

  • Single 12V power supply could be useful for direct connection to Pioneer robots. A 12V-->8.5V DC-DC (100W) converter is required for this operation. This item can be ordered at Vicor. 8.5V batteries would then be useless.
