# Python Motor Driver for Mini Cheetah-type Actuators from T-Motor/CubeMars

This driver was developed at the Underactuated Lab in Robotics Innovation Center at DFKI GmbH, Bremen.

It assumes the use of a CAN to USB adapter (such as [PEAK System's PCAN-USB](https://www.peak-system.com/PCAN-USB.199.0.html?&L=1) or [ESD's CAN-USB/2](https://esd.eu/produkte/can-usb-2)) connected to a linux (tested on Ubuntu) computer. The SocketCAN interface is used, thus allowing the use of Python Socket library.

Initial tests show communication (send-reply) frequencies of ~800Hz  using PCAN-USB and ~1500Hz using ESD CAN-USB/2 with a single motor connected.

# Dependencies:

* bitstring

Install via:

`pip3 install bitstring`

# Pre-requisites:

* Setting up the CAN interface:

* Run this command and make sure that `can0` (or any other can interface depending on the system)shows up as an interface after connecting the USB cable to your laptop: `ip link show`

* Configure the `can0` interface to have a 1 Mbaud communication frequency: `sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000`

* To bring up the `can0` interface, run: `sudo ip link set up can0`

* To change motor parameters such as CAN ID or to calibrate the encoder, a serial connection is used. The serial terminal used on linux for this purpose is `screen`. Example usage:
```
sudo apt-get install screen
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 921600
```

# Usage:

Import: `from motor_driver.canmotorlib import CanMotorController` if installed via `pip`. Otherwise, adjust import statement based on system's `PYTHONPATH` (e.g. when cloned from GitHub).

Example Motor Initialization: `motor = CanMotorController(can_socket='can0', motor_id=0x01, motor_type='AK80_6_V2', socket_timeout=0.5)`

Available Functions:

- `enable_motor()`
- `disable_motor()`
- `set_zero_position()`
- `send_deg_command(position_in_degrees, velocity_in_degrees, Kp, Kd, tau_ff):`
- `send_rad_command(position_in_radians, velocity_in_radians, Kp, Kd, tau_ff):`
- `change_motor_constants(P_MIN_NEW, P_MAX_NEW, V_MIN_NEW, V_MAX_NEW, KP_MIN_NEW, KP_MAX_NEW, KD_MIN_NEW, KD_MAX_NEW, T_MIN_NEW, T_MAX_NEW)`

All motor communication functions return current position, velocity, torque in SI units except for `send_deg_command`. `change_motor_constants` does not return anything.

# Supported Motor Configurations:

- AK80-6 (From Cubemars, Firmware versions V1, V1.1, and V2): `motor_type='AK80_6_V1'`, `motor_type='AK80_6_V1p1'` and `motor_type='AK80_6_V2'`
- AK80-9 (From Cubemars, Firmware version V1.1 and V2): `motor_type='AK80_9_V1p1'` and `motor_type='AK80_9_V2'`
- AK70-10 (From Cubemars, Firmware version V1.1): `motor_type='AK70_10_V1p1'`
- AK10-9 (From Cubemars, Firmware version V1.1): `motor_type='AK10_9_V1p1'`. **TODO:** The temperature and error codes are received but not yet decoded for the new firmware for this motor.

```

To add a new constants configuration use the `change_motor_constants` function or create an issue with the constants and motor information on the GitHub page to be added to the driver.

# Known Issues

Currently, the driver does not support multiple CAN busses i.e. multiple CAN2USB devices. The fix for this is in the works...

As this is experimental software, there might be other unknown issues.
