Servos For Robot Dog

My dev kit turned up this week happy with initial impressions.  I try to have a play on the weekend.

....be sure to join his discord....very active and he seems to be online and available most of the time...

Do you have discord invite links?

..sorry late reply..i can see you in the server now

This is another one to check...

@Nink which dev kit were you getting?

@all I ordered two of those Simple FOVs now, and will compare them to my ODrive...it seems like the Simple FOV is designed with small BLDCs in mind, but that would no worry me too much! Could be nice for anything not needing a massive amount of torque!!

I'm playing with dev kit and so far is working out of the box on Linux and Raspberry PI, the overall design is very good, the controller interface is CAN FD, single motor and the pcb has an absolute magnetic encoder so the idea is to pair a controller with a  magnet attached to a BLDC motor.

The dev kit has everything included to start: 24v Power supply, USB-CANFD, Controller attached to BLDC motor.

The solution allows to control a BLDC motor like a 360 multi turn servo, plus all the other stuff: torque, velocity.

I'll create a plugin to interact with controller.

@Nick: Thank you for introducing it to me, did you manage to test it ?
