Hey everyone,
We’re building a Roboplow-style machine that we want to control using AgOpenGPS, and I’d love to get your input on one of the key challenges:
Controlling the left and right drive motors independently.
The idea is to drive the machine tank-style (track or 2WD), and I need to figure out:
- How to differentially control the two motors when turning (left vs right speed)
- And how to regulate overall speed based on the planned path
Any advice on:
- Which motor controllers to use (VESC? Cytron? Others?)
- How to interface it with AOG (CAN, PWM, etc.)
- Or even a general logic structure on how AOG handles velocity and steering?
Would really appreciate any thoughts, diagrams, code snippets or just wild ideas!
Cheers,
Kubi
