ANNOUNCING: Kauai Labs navX-MXP Upgrade, navX-Micro & SF2

[slibert]

Just in time for the FIRST FRC 2017 "Steamworks" season, Kauai Labs announces the following exciting upgrades and new products - designed to help teams Build Better Robots®.

All software items below will be available for download on January 7, 2017.



Classic. Must-have. Featured on Championship Robots.

navX-MXP is a mature, must-have navigation sensor for a FRC RoboRIO-based robot control system. Over a thousand FRC teams have purchased navX-MXP to enhance drive-train navigation, including several teams competing in the FRC 2016 World Championship Finals.

navX-MXP 3.0 - a free software upgrade to existing navX-MXP customers - includes these new features:

• 200 Hz Update Rate

• Full RoboRIO support for USB, in addition to SPI, I2C and TTL UART

• Redesigned LabVIEW Library - now even easier to use

• New Linux library - great for integrating navX-MXP into a separate vision co-processor

• Libraries for integrating nav-MXP into Android-based FIRST FTC Robots

Reduced size and cost. Great as a second IMU. Sold out on day one of FIRST Choice 2017.

navX-Micro is a new, smaller, lower-cost IMU, great for FRC and FTC teams with limited budgets.

navX-Micro also works great as a second IMU for measuring orientation of robot arms and other moving devices.

navX-Micro is software-compatible with navX-MXP and works with all RoboRIO libraries, which now include support for multiple simultaneous navX-MXP & navX-Micro devices.




New for 2017.

SF2 is a free, open-source software framework making navX-MXP and navX-Micro even more powerful - fusing multiple sensors together to help you build even better robots.

Available in LabVIEW, C++ and Java for the RoboRIO, the initial SF2 release enables Video Processing Latency Correction on FRC robots.
