自己調整型 Kangaroo X2 モーションコントローラ

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.

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.
