Kangaroo x2 Sample Wiring Diagram

1 OFF: Analog Input.

Connect 0-5V analog signals to

the S1 and S2 inputs.

1 ON: Digital Input

R/C to S1 and S2 or connect

serial TX to S1 and RX to S2

2 OFF: Analog Feedback

Connect a 0-5V signal to

Feedback Input A

2 ON: Quadrature Feedback

Connect an encoder to Feedback

Inputs A and B

3 OFF: Velocity Control

Motor speed and direction are

controlled by the input signal

3 ON: Position Control

Motor position is controlled by

the input signal

4 OFF: Mixed Mode

The outputs are mixed together

for differential drive

4 on: Independent mode

Tuning Autotune Before being used, Kangaroo x2 must learn about the system. This is called tuning. Make sure everything is connected, then begin the appropriate tune sequence for your system. Entering Tune mode To enter tune mode, press and hold the Autotune button for 2 seconds. The yellow LED will begin to slowly flash one flash, followed by a pause. This indicates tune mode 1. To change to the next mode, press and hold the Autotune button for 2 seconds.
