Kickdrive - CANopen Tools for Windows

But Wait, There's More!

The Kickdrive standard modules cover a lot of ground, but you can go even further, by using the integrated Qt Quick technology. In addition to the QML elements for CANopen objects already included in Kickdrive, you can add your own QML code and create fully-personalized applications.

Working with the UI Panel

Using the UI Panel module, you can build a personalized user interface for different scenarios and applications. Design and configure a panel of controls linked to CANopen parameters of your device. Need a custom control or visualization, such as a company logo? All you need to do is to write your own QML code block and reference it.

For additional documentation resources about QML integration, ask our bot or contact us at support@kickdrive.de.

Custom Applications

Using the integrated Qt Quick / QML technology, it is possible to create a standalone software application for a specific use or task. Kickdrive will essentially serve as a runtime environment, providing all the CANopen or other fieldbus infrastructure you need. The interaction with your custom user interface is done via text messages that can be easily sent or received from your custom UI / QML code.

Demo applications made by us include fullmo CANopen drive configuration and monitoring apps for MovingCap. Or stylish teach-in and testing apps for TCP/IP linear drives. All were developed in record time, making use of Qt Creator or Visual Studio Code, freely available rapid prototyping environments for Qt Quick / QML. (And, yes AI code assistants will accelerate this process even further.)

Distribute Royalty-Free Runtime to Your Customers

Kickdrive Plus offers a Runtime Generator feature that allows you to distribute your Kickdrive project as a single executable (.exe) file. No installation or license keys are required for such runtime files.

Just try our downloadable Drive Script Playground example and see how great this looks and works.
