Connection configuration
- Robot control via computer programs which runs on any control device is possible just by developing software applications.
- No expert knowledge in robotics control required to operate a robot because complex kinematic calculation and cooperative operation on multiple servo motors are automatically processed by V-Sido CONNECT RC.
- Not only PCs (ex. Windows、Linux、MacOS）but also Smartphones/Tablets (ex. Android）and single-board computers (ex. Intel Edison, Raspberry Pi） are available as a control device.
- Web applications developers can easily participate in robot development because script languages such as JavaScript are used to control the robots.
Notes before usage
- V-Sido CONNECT RC is a product mainly for robot applications prototyping by robot developers.
- V-Sido CONNECT RC is shipped with the microcontroller chip and circuit element implemented. Please solder additional pin headers if necessary.
- V-Sido CONNECT RC doesn’t include connecting cables, pin headers or a robot.
- For Bluetooth connection, a SBDBT and USB Bluetooth adapter are necessary.
- For commercial use of robot developed with V-Sido CONNECT RC, license contract is required.
- To use V-Sido CONNECT RC, your agreement on EULA is required. Please confirm EULA here.
