Motor control is derived from geometrical robot dimensions to create a highly abstracted motion control module. High level commands, such as "drive a set distance", can be issued to the WheelCommander. After the module recieves commands and an execution instruction, a closed loop process handles the necessary motor controls based on odometry input to make your robot execute the desired actions. A summary of the WheelCommander features are:

• Control is based on real world units for velocity, rotation rate, position and angle.
• Control is based around robot dimensions.
• RS232 and I2C communication capable.
• 4 General purpose 10-bit A2D.
• 4 General purpose digital IO.
• Field upgradable via RS232.

The WheelCommander has the following specifications:

The encoder wire harnesses that come with the WheelCommander are 4 inches in length. This is a bit shorter then the wire harness that comes with the WheelWatchers.
