Subject: [WheelWatcher] New Products Coming Soon
Message-ID: <41B0D8C1.2060008@noeticdesign.com>

We have two new products to be released within a few weeks:

- the new WW-02 WheelWatcher for Solarbotics GM-2, GM-3, GM-8, or GM-9 
gearhead motors
These nice, quiet, servo-like motors are sold by Solarbotics, Hobby 
Engineering, and soon Acroname; these are used with matching  injection 
molded wheels very similar to the ones available for servos.

- a new codewheel mounting system, the CS-040 Codewheel Spacer
Developed as a result of strong demand, we've created this new mounting 
system.  It allows you to use the WheelWatcher WW-01's codewheel sticker 
on a variety of wheels (from Budget Robotics or other vendors) or any 
mechanism that attaches to a servo with a servo control horn.  Some 
drilling on your part is required, but the predrilled guide holes make 
it simple.

And, coming in January, we will be shipping the new WC-116 
WheelCommander, a revolutionary differential drive motor controller.  
Just plug in the two servos, the two WheelWatchers, power, and a 
TTL-level RS-232 or I2C connection to your main controller or PC, and 
all the complex closed loop motion control is taken care of for you.  It 
also provides 7 analog inputs and 7 digital inputs or outputs.  It works 
great with the Basic Stamp 2.  Motion commands in either velocity and 
rate of rotation, or distance and angle of rotation are available.  
These are done in real world units after you configure the controller 
with wheel diameter and wheel base measurements.

Sincerely,
Nubotics Support
