The WidowX XM430 Robot Turret is a fully programmable pan and tilt system designed around the DYNAMIXEL XM 430 W350 T servos from Robotis. It offers a high resolution of 4096 positions and user definable PID parameters. Temperature monitoring, positional feedback, voltage levels, load and compliance settings are all user accessible. The WidowX XM430 Turret comes with the DYNAMIXEL U2D2 for ROS control and the CM9.04c for Serial Firmware control.
ROS packages for Kinetic and Melodic on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 and 18.04 make it easy to get started with the WidowX XM430 Turret. These packages include full meshes and URDFs (including accurate inertial models for the links), a driver node that controls the physical robot and publishes joint states, as well as Gazebo and MoveIt support. Examples are also included to demonstrate how the core packages work.
