The OpenMoco Reference Design

Here on the OpenMoco.org website, you'll find a number of open-source, free, and user-contributed software and hardware designs.  The core focus of the OpenMoco system is the Official OpenMoco Reference Design.  This design includes the system architecture, the system software components, and the system hardware components.

 

OpenMoco Architecture High-Level View

 

The OpenMoco Engine components run on the low-cost AVR-based Arduino hardware platform, while the OpenMoco Interfaces can run on anything from specialized touch-screen interfaces to PCs, laptops, and netbooks, and the OpenMoco Elements are specialized hardware constructs designed to make motion control easy and affordable.  The elements include everything from pre-built motor axis units, to DIY designs for building your own exposure control systems, etc.

To download the currently available official software releases, see the Software Downloads page, and for hardware designs and software capabilities of the official release components, please visit the Documentation page.
