The
Arduino Robot is the first official wheeled module of the
Arduino family. The Robot features a motor board and a control board, with each board having its own dedicated processor - one for motor functions and one for sensors and control functions. Each board is a fully programmable
Arduino board via the
Arduino IDE.
The
Robot carries a variety of sensors and actuators including a digital compass, 5-key keypad and a potentiometer. Resultant outputs can be displayed on a full-colour LCD display and there is a speaker for audio output. There is also an SD card reader and LEDs for status display. Additionally, on each board there are prototyping areas, enabling further functionality.
There are several communication methods for the
Robot including UART serial communication and SDC comms over USB. The ATmega microprocessors also support I2C (TWI) abd SPI communication.
