Description
2 channel self-tuning feedback motion control
Provides position or speed control with quadrature encoders or potentiometers
Support for limit switches and mechanical stops
Can be controlled with analog signals, radio control, microcontroller or PC
The Self-Tuning Kangaroo X2 Motion Controller adds self-tuning feedback motion control to your Sabertooth or SyRen motor driver. It can be used with quadrature encoders or potentiometers to provide position or speed control. It supports one or two feedback channels. Kangaroo x2 is the first self-tuning controller in its class. Instead of requiring you to measure, model and calculate the system, the controller itself will figure everything out after a few switch settings and button presses. In the time it takes to get a tasty snack, you can come back to a perfectly tuned system ready to accept your commands. Instead of requiring you to use a microcontroller to do closed loop control, Kangaroo x2 works from analog and radio control sources as well as microcontrollers and computers. You can use it to build that two horsepower R/C servo. During operation, you can command speeds, positions or combined commands like ''move to 37 inches at a speed of 4 inches per second.'' You can also have the Kangaroo x2 report back speeds and positions while it is running. A mixed mode allows for unstoppable mobile robots with differential drive or tank style steering.

Bottom Line: Un peu difficile à configurer mais super une fois terminé! J'utilise ceci sur un robot et suivre la configuration ne correspondait pas vraiment à un gros robot qui causerait de graves dommages s'il était laissé à l'état sauvage comme il le fera si vous suivez les instructions de configuration. Assurez-vous d'élever votre robot mobile pour qu'il ne tourne pas partout pendant le cycle de réglage. Ils ont recommandé de le charger avec une charge moyenne, mais il aurait traversé un mur si je le laissais faire ce qu'ils ont déclamé. J'ai dû lire attentivement le manuel. Je ne recommande pas d'utiliser le démarrage rapide. Il ne couvrait pas toutes les instructions dont j'avais besoin. Le bouton de programmation était difficile d'accès et il a fallu regarder quelques vidéos youtube pour bien faire les choses, mais une fois que je l'ai réglé, c'est génial! Je l'ai en cours d'exécution avec ROS et contrôlant mon robot avec 2 encodeurs 600p / r. J'ai utilisé ce dépôt: https://github.com/brannonvann/kangaroo_x2_driver et j'ai apporté quelques modifications pour mes besoins.

Excellent product -- simple setup, very accurate
I'm using this with a 2x12 sabertooth in a tank-drive rover and am absolutely thrilled with it! After the auto-tune, it performs with near perfect repeatability. I'm using the serial control with their provided library, and can easily now command my unit to move in clicks (with 3000 clicks being one motor revolution in my setup). Time and time again, over various terrain and resistance, it perfectly meters motion. This controller does everything I wanted and more. I only wish I'd heard about it sooner given all the other alternative methods I have worked on in the past.

Excellent produit - configuration simple, très précise
J'utilise ceci avec une dent 2x12 dans un rover à moteur et je suis absolument ravi! Après l’auto-réglage, la répétabilité est presque parfaite. J'utilise le contrôle série avec la bibliothèque fournie et je peux maintenant commander facilement à mon unité de se déplacer en quelques clics (3 000 clics correspondant à une révolution moteur dans ma configuration). Maintes et maintes fois, sur divers terrains et résistances, il mesure parfaitement le mouvement. Ce contrôleur fait tout ce que je voulais et plus encore. J'aimerais seulement en avoir entendu parler plus tôt, étant donné toutes les autres méthodes alternatives sur lesquelles j'ai travaillé par le passé.

Good unit, confusing setup
Bottom Line: A little difficult to setup but great once complete! I'm using this on a robot and following the setup didn't really fit a large robot that would cause serious damage if left to run wild like it will if you follow the setup instructions. Make sure to elevate your mobile robot so it doesn't run all over the place during the tuning cycle. They recommended loading it with an average load but it would have ran through a wall if i let it do what they ranted. I had to read the manually throughly. I do not recommend using the quick start. It didn't cover all the instructions I required. The programming button was difficult to get to and took watching a few youtube videos to get it right but once I got it tuned, it's great! I have it running with ROS and controlling my robot with 2 600p/r encoders. I used this repo: https://github.com/brannonvann/kangaroo_x2_driver and made a few modifications for my needs.
