MARC Controller Firmware
A microcontroller running MARC firmware handles the details of mobility, including maintaining the
platform's drive speed and heading, as well as acquiring data from the encoders and gyroscope, and
managing the platform's emergency stop systems, bumper, and joystick. The MARC firmware computes
and reports an estimate of the platform's pose (X, Y, θ), as well as other aspects of robot status.
MARC updates may be available in the future to fix problems or add features, at
http://support.mobilerobots.com.

The embedded computer is provided with either Ubuntu Linux or Windows 7 preinstalled. The
operating system selected when ordered has been preinstalled along with all other software included,
and a selection of useful system and software development tools. Other operating systems may be used
