This latest version of the VMX is the VMX2, a powerful robot controller,

  • Enables Tele-op and autonomous control
  • Programmable in Java, C++, Python, LabVIEW, and ROS
  • Integrates the navX-IMU, a Linux based controller, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3 ports and built-in Wifi/Bluetooth. 
  • Can be used in a Robot Control System or Vision/Motion processor
  • Supports Open CV, Tensor Flow, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 
  • Step Files

The VMX2 leverages five advanced key technology developments,

  • Highly-integrated, inexpensive, WiFi-enabled, multi-core Linux computing platform with lots of USB IO for expansion
  • 32-bit ARM Microcontrollers incorporating sophisticated I/O and digital communications engines
  • Low-cost MEMs Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
  • Powerful software providing rich libraries and tools for developing robot software in C++, Java
  • CAN bus for high-speed, real-time communication between devices

The Studica VMX2 Technology Enables,

  • Far richer development environments and tools
    • Because VMX2 is much more than a robot controller – it is a powerful, Linux-based desktop computing platform with network/monitor/keyboard/mouse support.
  • Very powerful software features
    • State-of-the-art software development GUIs (e.g., VS Code) libraries and tools (drive-  train kinematics, path-planning, vision processing, autonomous navigation,   performance data acquisition/playback)
  • Access to cutting-edge sensors (for use outside the competition)
    • VMX’s multitude of modern digital communications interfaces and Linux-based   operating system allow users to directly access most modern devices (e.g., Intel   RealSense tracking and depth cameras and LIDAR

The VMX2 circuit board and official firmware provide inertial and magnetic measurements, with a range, accuracy and update rate as described on this page, as well as a broad range of I/O and Digital Communication capabilities and flexible Power Management.

Note that certain IMU performance specifications are only valid after a start-up  Gyroscope/Accelerometer Calibration   period, during which time the VMX-pi circuit board must be held still.

Additional details can be found in the  VMX Datasheet.

Additionally, the specifications for the connector cables with come with each VMX are also documented on this page.
