CubeMars RUBIK LINK V2.0 USB Debugger for AK Actuators

The CubeMars RUBIK LINK V2.0 is a USB-to-serial module made for commissioning CubeMars AK series actuators. Connected between a PC and the actuator, it lets CubeMars' PC software calibrate the encoder, assign the CAN ID and set the PID gains of the position, speed and torque loops — the set-up each AK joint needs before it goes into a robot.

Key features

• Encoder calibration — run from the PC software over the serial link.

• CAN ID assignment — give every actuator on a shared CAN bus its own address.

• Three-loop tuning — PID settings for position, speed and torque control.

• Low draw — 5 V rated, 30 mA or less.

• Cable included — ships with the connecting cable for the actuator.

Specifications

• Interface: USB to serial

• Rated voltage: 5 V

• In the box: RUBIK LINK V2.0 module, connecting cable

Keep one on the bench whenever you build with AK actuators such as the AK70-10 KV100: it handles first set-up and any later change to a joint's ID or tuning.
