The RP2350-Powered Board Every Roboticist Needs
If you’ve spent any amount of time working with robots, then you’ll know that the development process is very complex and extremely slow. All of those sensors, motors, and interfaces aren’t going to wire and configure themselves. It takes a lot of time and debugging to get everything to play together nicely. So much so that even the idea of making a change can give a roboticist nightmares. This is unfortunate, because rapid experimentation is essential for the field to move forward.
A new device called link101, developed by robocore, addresses this problem. It is an open source multi-protocol bridge for ROS 2 robots. Using link101, all of a robot’s motors and sensors can be seen by a computer as standard Linux devices via a single USB-C connection. There are no drivers to install or write — link101 handles the details while you move fast and try not to break...
