Robot MarketPlace - cmRobot Element Robot Controller

Educators worldwide use the Element platform for robotics, mechatronics, and machine control. The Element provides hands-on design opportunities for electrical, mechanical, and software engineers. From middle schools, high schools, undergraduate labs to research projects, students and engineers are using the Element platfom to drive the future of robotics.

The Element Makes Robotics Easy!

The Element was developed to allow developers to hit the ground running with their robotic application. Be up and running in an hour.
It's a ready-to-use solution to interface the Microsoftª .NET framework or ROS to the most common robotic hardware. The Element is a robotics controller with integrated analog inputs, digital inputs and outputs, I2c port, servo control as well as motor control with encoder inputs.
Dual 4A H-Bridges are built into the Element.
The Element requires absolutely no low level programming. Developers simply take advantage of the Element .NET or ROS libraries to effortlessly query or control their hardware.
The Element has been designed to fit a wide range of robotic applications.
The Element has an all-in-one board designÊand it is compact in size.
The Element includes TTL interface as standard features. XBee/XBee PRO radios are an option.
