<p dir="auto">I've recently gotten a couple of  Roller-Can motors. Very Cool. I've designed a planetary gearbox for them  to perhaps use them in robotics in some way. Found I needed to tune them for my loads so<br />
I've written a program for an ESP32 to connect them via I2C to a PC via the ESP32's USB-C port. This allowed me to write a Windows Desktop App for PID tuning the motors to get performance adjusted to the load of the motors.<br />
Photo attached to show how it works. Is there interest in this? I can post the code for the ESP 32 and the desktop application if anyone is interested.</p>
<p dir="auto">It can move a motor, record the current, position and RPM, calculate the acceleration , send it to the desktop application so you can see what's up, change the PID parameters to get smooth motion, and flash the firmware to remember the new PID loop.</p>
<p dir="auto">If people are interested I will post them on here if possible, or on my own website for people to download.</p>
