Easy Roller Robot Wheel Kit (EZR) with 300CPR Quadrature Encoder
   

The Micro PID Position Controller (UPID) is a "stand-alone" DC motor position controller. It requires a DC motor equipped with a 2-channel quadrature encoder. PID test software (located below) may be downloaded for use with a Windows™ based PC. The Micro PIDs small footprint allows for its use in a variety of size sensitive position control applications.

The Micro PID Position Controller can be operated in 4 control modes. The modes are direct serial control, trapezoidal control, analog control, or velocity control. Two limit switch inputs, and a brake input are supported. Up to 16 trapezoidal movement profiles may be stored in non-volatile memory. A variety of programmable PID (and other) settings make this unit a very affordable component of a servo position control system.
