Control Inputs
The control inputs on a Kangaroo x2
are the screw terminals labeled 0V,
5V, S1 and S2. 0V is the logic ground
for the device, and must be
connected to the ground of the
device generating the signal. 5V is a
5V output that can optionally be
used to power the potentiometer,
receiver, microcontroller or other
device that is generating the signals.
If the signaling device is self-
powering, it should be left
unconnected. S1 and S2 are signal
connections. DIP switch 1 is used to select which type of input is being used.
Analog Input
In Analog Input mode, the position or velocity is
proportional to a 0-5v analog input. This is useful
for controlled feed rates in power feeds, joystick
controls for actuators or cameras, cruise control
for ride-on vehicles or positioning stages driven by
dials or sliders. It is also makes it easy to build arm
followers for tele-operation. Analog input can also
be used with switches or other analog signal
sources such as a DAC or CNC controller. For
analog input, set DIP switch 1 to OFF. By default, in
velocity mode 2.5 volts is zero speed, 0v is full
speed reverse and 5v is full speed forward. In
position mode, 0v is full travel in one direction and
5v is full travel in the other. The input center and range can be calibrated with tune mode 4, or
programmed with the DEScribe software.
