KoreMotor Overview
KoreMotor Overview

The KoreMotor drives up to four DC motors using PID control in position, speed, and torque. KoreMotor can receive in stand-alone or can receive orders sent by a KoreBot or any external SPI or I2C master. The KoreMotor is inspired by the "I2C motor control module" developed at the Autonomous System Laboratory of Swiss Institute of Technology at Lausanne by M. Lauria, D. Baer, R. Piguet, & X. Greppin.

The KoreMotor can be a standalone product or included in a Korebot stack. The KB-250 interface is an open standard interface to expand the functionality of an existing ARM base platform in a easy and fast way. Besides using a full line of off-the-shelf KB-250 modules, developers can also design their own modules. KB-250 modules can be used singularly or stacked together to give the needed functionality.

The KoreMotor is designed and manufactured by K-Team Inc., Switzerland.

KoreMotor Light Edition. Ref: KorMotLE.

KoreMotor-LE is a new version of the KoreMotor which provides 2 DC motor channels. It can to drive up to two DC motors using PID control for position and speed. The PID control loop is implemented with 32bit calculations, with a 32bit position value and a 16 bit velocity value. Current measurement feedback is also available to detect stall conditions on the motors, and all other features of the KoreMotor are included.

KoreMotor-LE does not support standalone operation; the board must be connected to a KoreBot using the KB-250 stack. The KB-250 interface is an open standard interface to expand the functionality of an existing ARM base platform in a easy and fast way. Besides using a full line of off-the-shelf KB-250 modules, developers can also design their own modules.
