Abstract :
In this paper, the hardware architecture of a lunar rover prototype with six wheels driven independently is discussed. Six driving control modules with the same hardware configuration but different software serial numbers are connected via the EIA RS-485 network to control the six wheels respectively. Each driving module is responsible for the control of the steering speed and turning angle of a certain wheel, and can communicate with the host computer in the rover prototype in real time.
