FAQs

What is Smart Motion Devices?
Smart Motion Devices are a type of robotic components, used for building different robotic systems.
What is a Smart Motion Devices used for?
Smart Motion Devices are used for controlling electrical motors, acquiring data from robotic sensors and used for connecting the motors and sensors to micro-controllers in a special network topology.
Why should I select Smart Motion Devices compared to other robot kits, such as DIY Arduino shields or Raspberry Pi hats?
The Smart Motion Devices are specifically designed for robotic applications in mind. There are many fundamental benefits such as well-documented programming libraries, CPU and I/O pin offloading, resillient communication network protocol.
What motor types do SMD products support?
Currently BDC, Stepper Motor and BLDC motor support coming soon. There is also the Servo add-on module for controlling RC-Servo motors via the same daisy-chain communication network.
Does the product comes with a controller and software/courseware?
There are many controller options for SMD, hence they are not included in the package. Users are free to use any controller. API and example codes are availalbe for Python and Arduino languages.
Is there any after-sales support or training for the product?
Customer support is provided via e-mail and/or via remote desktop connection.
