Recomendation for robot controller
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 6:26 pm
Hello everyone,
I am thinking on making my own little autonomous robot with several sensors and I would like a recommendation of robot controller boards. I have had my eye on the New Orangutan LV-168 from Pololu (http://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0225/). It has 2 motor controllers, 8 I/O pins, LCD screen, and more. While I was on Pololu’s website, I also saw a sensor that helps two robots locate each other (http://web.mit.edu/6.270/www/). Well, that got me thinking; why not create two small robots to play tag or hide-and-go-seek. Maybe those two robots could also bring up another project in the long run: autonomously and cooperatively mapping an area.
In any case, I’d like recommendation for a robot controller.
