Anyone building a robot dog? I am looking for Servo's to build one that will work with ARC...

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

@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!!:)

@Mickey666: post #30 https://mjbots.com/products/moteus-r4-5-developer-kit

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.
