Overview
NXP’s Motion Control and Robotics solution provides the computing performance, embedded connectivity, low latency and a real-time open source operating system to address the requirements for multi-axis motion control and robotics applications.
This solution is based on an i.MX RT1050, which controls four steppers motors that activates the different kind of movement of the robotic arm for the 3D printer to function.
This solution also counts with the FreeMASTER GUI for easy debugging and a better presentation and control of the system.
