Granity is the configuration software tool for Argon (servo drive). Granity is a successor of GDtool software.
Contents
Design
From GDtool times, Granity has been redesigned from ground up and aims to deliver effortless setup of servo drives while keeping functionality and reliability maxed out.
Download
Download the latest release from the link below. To run Granity, just extract the Zip file and launch Granity.exe. Installation is not needed.
Drivers
In most cases Windows detects the SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter as USB Serial port and is able to install drivers automatically. However, if not, download VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers from this page. The recommended package is the setup executable (direct link).
