Check out the amazing biped from @SkyentificTweet using moteus controllers!

I have designed, built, trained and programmed Bipedal Robot. I call it Swiss Bipedal Robot. More details in my new YouTube video: https://t.co/dvfqWDncuQ #skyentific @NVIDIARobotics

How fast can it move? See for yourself in the video: https://t.co/xnZayWX5ch

Here's an announcement for a long requested tview feature, logging! You can now record data from tview to either a set of .csv files, or a single .jsonl file.

Read about it here: https://t.co/2MtPTsfeRD

To get the new feature, just upgrade your client tools:

python -m pip install -U moteus moteus-gui

Good luck!

Who doesn't like more features? Now tview has a full python REPL that can be used to script operations or perform more advanced testing:

And commands work just fine even while plotting and inspecting things in the tree view:

As well as a reworked setup guide, more encoder examples, additional reference information and a whole lot more! Once again:

There's a new moteus documentation site out now with much better organization and a lot more content:

With the most recent release of moteus-gui (0.3.93), tview will now give you some helpful highlighting when one or more controllers are experiencing a fault, encouraging you to look in the correct place:

To get the full experience, firmware and software cross the board needs to be upgraded. Read the blog post for details!

Here's a valuable new moteus feature: UUID based addressing and transparent support for multiple transports in python.

This works in tview too. As a double bonus, tview switches to UUID addressing when you change IDs, which makes assigning a new CAN ID much less error prone.
