Discovery L1 Crawler Platform
Product Briefing
The Discovery series is a small economical robot platform. It aims to provide users with a complete mobile robot system with high reliability and multiple interfaces. Discovery L1 is robot platform with crawler wheel system and the power system which can choose two or four motors, which can adapt to all kinds of muddy, ravines, ladder working environment and complete all kinds of work efficiently. Discovery L1 uses high-power coreless motor as the driver, equipped with multi-axis servo driver, supporting both CAN bus and RS232 interface. The development kit provides customers with a complete equipment communication protocol, and also provides examples and demo application source code based on STM32F407, which allows users quickly know how to operate Discovery L1.
