Hi

Does anyone know the wheel base for the

NI LabVIEW Robotics Starter Kit for Prototyping, three wheel?

I tried looking on the web, this site and the data sheet and I can't find it.

Thanks

I appreciate your assistance but can more than one answer be answered at a time?

Accuracy: If I want to robot to travel r*w*t where r is radius of wheel, w is the rotational rate and t is the time w is on. how close can it get to the desired pose?

repeatedability: how often or within what range will it reach its final destination?

 

and

 

I go through the project wizard and made the standard Starter Kit 2.0 Roaming project as a base project to test the system. I start the app which boots the system and gets the bot going. If I turn the main power off and motor off and then turn them on how do I get the app running again?

 

another project

I tried to load a simple speed command for a set time in a flat sequence command, that is timed 200ms into the bot and the bot wouldn't respond.Can you offer any suggestions?

When loading a speed command to go straight is it typical that one wheel would differently than the other at startup?

 

Thanks again for all your help.

All of the information that we have will be in the specs sheet for the kit. I would recommend going with the NI LabVIEW Robotics Module as it comes with example programs to help you get started.

 

The Dead Reckoning.lvproj included in the Robotics Module is a great place to start. Once you have installed the Robot Module. Open LabVIEW, go to help>find examples>Robotics>Starter Kit>Dead Reckoning.lvproj

 

If you are looking for more information regarding the components of the kit you can contact Pitsco, which makes most of the components for the kit.
