RAPcore Caravel Flow

https://rapcores.github.io/rapcores/

The Robotic Application Processing Core on the OpenMPW/Caravel Shuttle run sponsored by Google .

RAPcore is a project targeting FPGAs and ASIC devices for the next generation of motor and motion control applications. It is a peripheral that sits between firmwares and motors to free up processing on the microcontroller and greatly simplify the motor driver.
