Hi there,
First of all, I am a novice at this so I apologize if I have questions too basic.
I own a Netduino+ and I want to buy the Dagu Rover 5 (the one that comes with quadrature encoders). My idea is to use my Netduino+ as “the brain” and to delegate “the two motors low level issues” to a dual channell motor controller able to deal with the rover motors…
Summarizing: Netduino+ <–> Motor controller <–> Dagu Rover 5
So, my questions are:
- Could it be possible to link a Netduino+ to some motor controller you sell? It would be great to be able to send commands from my Netduino+ and also check statuses as with Micro Maestro Servo controllers…
- Which motor controller could be the most suitable one for my project? Please, bear in mind that since I want to control the speed and position of the rover all the time, I’m going to need a controller that could be able to deal with quadrature sensors. As far as I’ve seen, the RoboClaw is the only one that has quadrature decoders but I’m not so sure if it will work in my case.
- Maybe this question is out of topic (sorry about that): How much weight can the Rover 5 endure?
As always, your reply will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Nico.
