This is the second prototype of the project RopeBot.
The main control loop is implemented in C++ and runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B. It communicates with the ODrive motor controllers via CAN bus. ODrive allows us to directly specify the cable forces via the motor currents and keep the cables always under tension. Stay tuned!
