What is LGDXRobot2?

LGDXRobot2 is a DIY Mecanum wheel chassis designed to build a robot for ROS2 using low-cost hardware, offering the freedom to customise hardware specifications.

Build Your Robot with Any Configuration

Build your LGDXRobot using any chassis size and Mecanum wheels. Choose any computer and sensors to run your robotics software.

Easy-to-Build Motor Controller

LGDXRobot2 features an open-source controller board that drives four motors using a BlackPill MCU and a TB6612FNG motor driver. The modular design is easy to replicate and adapt.

Testing LGDXRobot2 with ChassisTuner

ChassisTuner is a graphical tool designed for testing and fine-tuning LGDXRobot2 hardware, allowing you to validate your setup and optimise performance.

Hardware Testing

Test communication with the controller and monitor the robot's status.

PID Fine Tune

Fine-tune the PID settings for each motor using charts to achieve maximum performance.

Unlimited Possibilities with ROS2

LGDXRobot2 offers full support for ROS2, enabling smarter robotics applications. It not only integrates with Topics and Services, but also includes support for the following:

Q&A

Is there a specification for LGDXRobot2?
No, LGDXRobot2 is designed to be flexible. You have the freedom to choose your own robot design, so the specifications may vary.
Can I buy a prebuilt LGDXRobot2?
No, a prebuilt version is not available due to limited resources. You will need to build the robot yourself.
Do you provide a chassis design?
No, a specific chassis design is not included. You can purchase a chassis from an online store and adjust the source code to match your setup.
