Ecosystem Overview; Md80; Candle And Candle Hat - Mab Robotics MD80 x CANdle User Manual

1. Ecosystem overview

MD80 x CANdle is a system of brushless actuator controllers (MD80) and translator devices (CANdle)
used for interfacing with them. MD80-based actuators can be used in advanced robotic projects like
quadrupedal robots, robotic manipulators, exoskeletons, gimbals, and many more.
1.1.

MD80

MD80 is a highly integrated brushless motor controller. It can be interfaced with a great variety of
motors to turn them into advanced servo actuators. MD80 can work with both direct drive (no gearbox) and
geared motors.
1.2.

CANdle and CANdle HAT

CANdle (CAN + dongle) is a translator device between the host controller and the MD80 drivers. It is
possible to interface CANdle with a regular PC over USB bus or CANdle HAT with SBCs (such as Raspberry PI)
over USB, SPI or UART bus.
