Argon servo drive has dual-CPU architecture where one of the CPU's are running open source firmware allowing end users to modify and extend it's functionality.
Usages[edit | edit source]
The open sourced CPU is the one handling all electrical I/O and feedback device signals and passing them to GraniteCore CPU that handles servo motor control. Example usage of open source firmware:
- Add custom logic, such as push-button or joystick control of motor without need of other controller
- Add custom feedback device support, such as serial encoder read-out
- Implement custom control algorithm such as non-linear or adaptive control
- Add custom safety functionality
- Alter the purpose of I/O signals, such as status monitoring digital outputs
Source code[edit | edit source]
The source code has been released under GPL V2 license and is available at GitHub (link).
