If the motor communicates over CAN or I2C you should be good to go. If it uses a different standard, then you'll have to roll your own communication scheme. You can check out the API here http://strawsondesign.com/docs/librobotcontrol/
librobotcontrol was originally written for the Robotics Cape, but that's built in on the BB Blue and librobotcontrol is included with the standard distribution. There is also a Python library if that's your bag https://pypi.org/project/rcpy/ On Thu, May 7, 2020 at 8:43 AM kenneth fields <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am in the beginning stages of my first robot design and have a question > on the beaglebone Blue board. > > basic specs for my robot: > > Must be able to lift 5000 a pound load.
