the MINI robocontroller
Coming Soon The MINI robocontroller is designed for small robots. It incorporates a powerful AVR microcontroller, XBEE wireless radio, dual motor drivers, and 3-pin servo-style headers for IO.
The board includes all circuitry needed to control a small differential drive robot. It can also easily control up to 4 servos.
Manual coming soon.
robocontroller Specifications
- 16MHz AVR microcontroller.
- 20 I/O, 6 of which can function as analog inputs
- Servo style 3-pin headers (gnd, vcc, signal) on all 6 analog inputs, and 4 of the digital IO
- Dual 1A motor drivers, with combined motor/encoder header.
- XBEE radio sold separately. A typical setup will require 2 XBEE radios and an XBEE explorer to be able to wirelessly control your robot from your computer.
- This board requires either an FTDI cable or ISP. For an FTDI cable we recommend the Sparkfun FTDI Basic Breakout.
- 2.4”x2.4” with mounting holes in each corner
Software
The MINI is Arduino compatible. In addition to standard Arduino libraries, we have developed:
- Motors0 - a library for using the motor drivers.
- Encoders - A library for using quadrature encoders.
- A number of libraries for various sensors.
