Acrome blog

Blog document explains a sample project of for synchronizing 2 different DC motor types of Linear Motors, brushed DC motors using ACROME's SMD products. Source code, 3D print files and Bill of Materials of the project is provided along with the possible real-life application examples.

In this article we provide information about the components and design decisions of building mobile robots. We also provide an insight into the different types of powertrain, actuators, sensors and motor drivers and discuss their effects on the robot's performance.

A Getting Started article for ACROME's Stewart Platform. Includes brief information about the product's development history, its physical aspects and capabilities, deliverables, getting started items and use-case details.

The article discusses the applications of Brushed DC motors, particularly when paired with ACROME's Smart Motion Devices (SMDs). SMDs are designed to control these motors with high precision and efficiency. They come with built-in safety features and a PID controller for more precise control. They also support daisy-chaining, which allows multiple SMDs to be connected together, reducing wire clutter and making projects more manageable.

The Ball Balancing Table is described as a versatile platform with various software options, allowing users to experiment with different control strategies. Bode diagrams are highlighted for their role in observing system stability, assessing performance, designing controllers, and troubleshooting. The document emphasizes the practical applications of these tools in real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications in control systems engineering.

Brushed DC Motor Drivers are essential in the field of robotics and automation. They convert low-voltage control signals into a high power signal suitable for driving a motor. This process allows for controlling the speed and direction of motors. They are commonly used in robotics, automation systems, and electric vehicles. Acrome's Smart Motion Devices (SMD) - Brushed DC Motor Version is a standout product with features like Python API, Arduino Library, RS-485 protocol for efficient control of multiple motors, and an Auto-Tuner for optimal performance.

Executing a custom motion pattern, whether a single motion axis or with multiple axes is a special topic of mechatronics and robotics as well. In this blog, we explain how ACROME's Hexapod Positioner (aka Stewart Platform) can be used to generate custom motions in 6 DoF space.
