Controlling brushless motors with ROS
By Shubham Sharma One of the challenges while developing any robotic hardware is to handle the communications with the motors along with sending commands to them as per the generated trajectory in real time. Since the motor accepting trajectories should respect the time limits, it becomes important that the communication between the motor driver and […]
