Integration guidance for QDD actuator buyers reviewing controller modes, CAN or EtherCAT communication, encoder feedback, Python/C++/ROS workflows, and sample bring-up risk.
Protocol files, command maps, GUI tools, and example code must match the selected actuator electronics. Treat this page as an integration checklist, not a promise that every actuator family ships with the same software stack.
| Asset | Status | Buyer Input | Review Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication protocol note | Requestable by actuator electronics class | Target bus, controller, desired control modes, and diagnostic data requirements | Ask whether the selected actuator supports the required mode rather than assuming support from another model. |
| Python / C++ example direction | Reviewed per controller and firmware package | Operating system, controller hardware, sample timing, and interface adapter | Example code should be used for bring-up only until safety, limits, and diagnostics are validated. |
| ROS integration notes | Project-dependent | ROS version, control loop frequency, joint count, bus topology, and state feedback needs | ROS success depends on deterministic bus behavior, driver quality, and actuator protection limits. |
| GUI or parameter tool screenshot | Requestable when the actuator package includes a matching setup tool | Firmware version, parameter scope, and which values the buyer expects to tune | Do not rely on a screenshot alone; confirm exportable parameters and firmware revision control. |
CAN: 1–4 ms at 1 Mbps. EtherCAT: <1 ms at 100 Mbps. Actual jitter depends on joint count and bus topology
Legged robots and force-control systems can become unstable when command and feedback timing are poorly understood.
Position, velocity, current, torque-style, or MIT-style modes depending on electronics
The mechanical actuator may fit, but the software stack can still block integration.
17-bit (131,072 counts/rev) to 19-bit (524,288 counts/rev) absolute encoders
Torque transparency, low-speed control, and backlash compensation depend on usable feedback data.
These visuals are actuator references for resource discussions. The exact file package, protocol scope, or compliance evidence must match the selected actuator configuration.
No. CAN support depends on the selected actuator electronics and firmware. Confirm the exact communication interface before sample order.
EtherCAT can be reviewed when the buyer shares controller architecture, update-rate requirements, and actuator electronics scope. It should be treated as a project-specific integration requirement.
Example direction can be reviewed per actuator package. Buyers should still validate safety limits, fault handling, and timing before robot testing.
