01 · ARDUINO

Arduino

Real-time control in a compact, familiar form factor.

Connect ACROME Smart Motion Devices (SMD) to your Arduino through the Arduino Gateway shield, which converts the SMD RS-485 bus to Arduino UART. The open Acrome-SMD library is available in the Arduino Library Manager, so you can drive motors and read sensors with just a few lines of code.

Plug-on gateway shield, powered directly from the Arduino
RS-485 to UART conversion with onboard termination resistor
Acrome-SMD library ready in the Arduino Library Manager
Unused Arduino pins stay free for your own sensors

02 · RASPBERRY PI

Raspberry Pi

Linux computing power for vision, networking and data-driven robotics.

Use the USB Gateway module to link ACROME SMD products to a Raspberry Pi, a PC or a Jetson Nano. The Python library lets you combine motion control with cameras, networking and data logging on a single board.
