for remote, web control of any robotic platform.
Currently, the Tele-Robotics application contains control
and monitoring services for CrustCrawler’s AX- 12 Smart
robotic arm. If you do not own an AX- 12 Smart Robotic
Arm, you can test drive the AX- 12 Smart Arm through
CrustCrawler’s interactive Telerobotics web page. Move
the arm through several preset movements while
monitoring in real time the position, speed, load, voltage,
and temperature of each of the AX- 12+ Smart servos
from anywhere in the world.
CrustCrawler’s Tele-Robotics software is ideally suited
for robotics applications that use servo motors which
can provide real time feedback for position, speed, load,
voltage, and temperature. Such feedback features are an
integral part of the AX- 12+, RX- 28, RX- 64, and EX-106
series of servos from Robotis.
CrustCrawler offers the software as a free open
source download which contains fully commented client,
server, and AJAX code modules. Help and additional
code can be found on the CrustCrawler robotics forum.

TOOLS & TEST
EQUIPMENT
Servo Commander
The Servo Commander is a portable, hand-held device
that generates the command signal required to drive
servos and Electronic Speed Controls (ESC) without the
use of an R/C transmitter and R/C receiver. You can
manually adjust the servo position or the ESC speed,
or continuously cycle between two slewing endpoint
positions of your choice.
Features are interference-free servo checking when
among groups using live R/C equipment; test servo
travel, positioning, and throttle adjustment; check for
servo alignments, binding, damaged gear trains, or
weak motors; enable mechanical adjustment of precise
zero position; check step response; permit first order
frequency response; check for vibration problems;
facilitate mechanical break-in; perform endurance testing;
input is protected against reversed voltage; convenience
power to driven equipment fused at 1A; accommodates
either 1.0 or 1.5 ms zero signal; always powers-up
producing a zero output signal; output signal is short
circuit protected; allows normal or reversed positional
control; has teach function to enter arbitrary slew
endpoints; slew rate is variable from 0 (motionless) to
100%; has quartz crystal controlled accuracy; and type
specific power cables are available.
