Hi Doug,

 

As others have said, there seems to be a similar configuration. But if it’s not 
perfect then it’s relatively simple to create your own kinematics for your 
setup.

You also mention encoders, since you seem to want to use a beaglebone, you can 
have a look into the eQEP encoders. There are 3 of them, you seem to need 2.

Not sure what this means for your hardware connection, going from whatever 
voltage the encoders use to the BeagleBone voltage.

 

You can also look into the driver you’re going to use. If it’s a driver which 
accepts your encoders and can drive your motors, then you could provide the 
driver with pulse/dir signals. This is not a closed loop back towards the 
beaglebone, although with the correct settings you won’t loose pulses.

 

Or if you can do some electronics (power to the motors), you could think about 
driving the motors with 2 PWM outputs and reading the encoders directly back. 
Nice closed loop setup.
