RCM 4 a better through-hole hand-solderable RCM

  • 4 motors and 7 servos OR 6 motors and 3 servos
  • runs from 5 NiMH AA batteries OR (need to test) 4.5-20v with the addition of voltage regulators
  • all components are hand-solderable through-hole parts
  • Qwiic-Compatible

(under development) RCM BYTE a smaller yet more capable design

  • about 1.25x1.25 inches
  • 8 motors
  • 8 servos
  • battery monitoring
  • I2C connector on QT PY
  • runs on 3-11 volts

RCM NIBBLE it's half a BYTE

  • about 1x1 inches
  • 4 motors
  • 4 servos
  • 2 additional GPIO pins
  • built-in IMU
  • battery monitoring
  • I2C connector on QT PY
  • runs on 3-11 volts

Components

  • Reads 8 quadrature encoders
  • 1.0x0.85 inches
  • I2C (Qwiic Compatible)
  • powered by an ATMega328P
  • hand solderable surface mount components

Connect RCM robots to ROS using MicroROS

Example of controlling an omnidirectional robot from ROS2

All these boards are also shared on PCBWay

PCBWay sponsored some of the prototyping runs of these boards. PCBWay provides great customer support and produces good boards.
