Estas tarjetas se componen de un DSPic30F4011, microcontrolador de 16 bits de Microchip que incorpora el modulo CAN, protocolo esencial para la comunicación entre tarjetas, salidas PWM para el control de motores, puertos análogos y digitales; como también un socket para conectarse a un dispositivo externo a través de la UART. El firmware ha sido escrito en MikroC Pro. Cada microcontrolador implementa una ecuación característica proveniente de las curvas de Hirose para generar un movimiento serpentino. Este movimiento se simuló usando ROS (Robotic Operating System) en Rviz y finalmente se implementó en el prototipo robot.

The structure of this project is based on three topics; The Hardware and its Firmware, The Mathematical Analysis of the Serpenoid Curves and The Robotic Simulation. In regards to the first topic electronic cards were implemented in a master-slave relationship for joint control of each mechanical module, these cards are composed of a DSPIC30F4011, microchip 16-bit microcontroller that incorporates the CAN module, essential protocol for communication between cards, PWM outputs for motor control, analogue and digital ports; as well as a socket to connect to an external device through the UART. The firmware has been written in MikroC Pro. The mathematical analysis is based on the Hirose-Serpenoid curves, hence every microcontroller implements a characteristic equation from the Hirose curves to generate a serpentine movement and last but not least the snake like robot is simulated using ROS (Robotic Operating System) in Rviz.
