The moteus tview application got another new big feature recently, support for a python REPL, with full access to the moteus python library. You can use multiple controllers, create functions and loops and send commands all while plotting and monitoring. Enjoy!

Actual documentation showing how to use the current set of python and C++ client libraries:

Updated troubleshooting guides that cover a lot of common problems:

It has annotated pinout diagrams for every moteus controller:

There's a new moteus documentation site posted as of yesterday!

With the most recent release of moteus-gui (0.3.93), tview will now give you some helpful highlighting when one or more controllers are experiencing a fault, encouraging you to look in the correct place:

Here's a valuable new moteus feature: UUID based addressing and transparent support for multiple transports in python.

We've now got 5V and 12V fans with connectors and mounting brackets up at mjbots to cool your controllers. If active cooling works for you, this can more than double your maximum continuous phase current:

Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for moteus A permanent magnet motor controller like moteus has to, at the end of the day, apply voltages to the phase wires of a motor in order to induce currents. Those currents generate magnetic fields that…

The moteus line of brushless motor controllers now supports space vector pulse width modulation! This technique allows motors to spin 15% faster for the same input voltage. Read more and find out how to upgrade here: jpieper.com/2024/11/20/s...
