Using the RoboClaw Arduino Library
The Arduino is an easy to use microcontroller for interfacing with the RoboClaw motor controller. It comes with a wide range of easy to use libraries out of the box. BasicMicro also has an easy to use library for the Arduino.
Standard Serial Mode with Arduino
The RoboClaw's standard serial control mode is an easy method for control with just about any microcontroller. In this Application Note an Arduino will be used to control two motors in standard serial mode.
Standard Serial Bus Operation with Arduino
Some robotics projects will require the use of more than one motor controller at a time. RoboClaw supports this type of operation and it's straightforward to configure and wire.
Using Multiple RoboClaws with Arduino
Some robotic projects make use of more than one motor controller. The RoboClaw is engineered to be used in this fashion with the use of a microcontroller like an Arduino.
Simple Arduino Control of the RoboClaw
The Arduino is one of the most popular microcontroller platforms around due to its ease of use and large supportive community of users. Today we will look at simple example of using the Arduino to control a RoboClaw.
