SMD STARTER KIT for SMD RED Smart Brushed Motor Driver (Recommended for New Users)

Description

• Kit offers the fundamental components for a comprehensive DC motor control application
• Control the speed, position or torque of the DC motor via software or with the Joystick module
• Use it with PC (with SMD UI or Python) or with Rasperry Pi, Jetson Nano etc. (with Python)
• Quickly test functionality and auto-tune the motor with SMD UI software

ACROME SMD (Smart Motion Devices) products are modular products designed to simplify the creation of robotics and mechatronics systems with a holistic electronics, mechanics and software approach. The main electronic part of the product family is SMD Motor Driver boards, which can be daisy-chained with each other using an optimized message protocol over a multidrop RS-485 communication link.

This kit provides an entry point to ACROME’s SMD Ecosystem. Following items are delivered as part of the kit:

1x SMD RED Smart Brushed Motor Driver with Speed, Position and Current Control Modes

1x 12V Brushed DC Motor with built-in encoder, 100 RPM speed

1x 37mm Motor Mount (90 degrees) with anodized black paint

1x USB Gateway Module for SMD Products

1x Joystick Add-On Module for SMD Products

1x 9×11 Plate for SMD Products

1x 12Vdc-5A SMPS Adapter

See https://www./collections/acrome for more details about all the SMD products that are delivered with this kit.

Note: A PC, Arduino (with additional SMD Arduino gateway) or controller with a USB host port (such as Raspberry Pi, Jetson etc.) is required to use the SMD products.
