System Configuration
Configure RoboControl for your specific robotic system and environment.
Configuration for Different Users
Team Programmer
Your role: Write autonomous code, tune controllers, verify paths work.
What you configure: Drivetrain parameters, odometry calibration, PID gains for drive/intake/launcher.
Mechanical Lead / Integrator
Your role: Build the robot. Ensure electrical connections work. Monitor motor health.
What you configure: Motor IDs, port assignments, sensor calibration, electrical specs.
Fleet Operations Manager (Drones)
Your role: Schedule missions, manage batteries, ensure regulatory compliance.
What you configure: Geofences, vehicle battery capacities, no-fly zones, home locations.
Robot Configuration
Configure your robot's physical parameters and motor specifications.
var robotConfig = new RobotConfiguration
{
DriveMotorCount = 3,
TrackWidth = 12.0, // inches
WheelDiameter = 3.25, // inches
EncoderResolution = 360, // counts per revolution
MaxMotorPower = 127,
GearRatio = 3.0
};
Transport Configuration
Set up serial or network communication with your robot.
// Serial communication
var serialConfig = new SerialTransportConfig
{
PortName = "COM3",
BaudRate = 115200,
DataBits = 8,
StopBits = StopBits.One,
Parity = Parity.None
};
var transport = new SerialTransport(serialConfig);
await transport.ConnectAsync();
Controller Parameters
Tune PID and advanced controller gains for optimal performance.
var pidConfig = new PidConfiguration
{
Kp = 2.0,
Ki = 0.5,
Kd = 0.1,
OutputMin = -127,
OutputMax = 127,
DerivativeFilterTf = 0.01, // seconds
IntegratorWindupGuard = true
};
