| This
kit is just the main controller board for the CBA robot.
The
kit is perfect for the who wants to build their own chassis
or to use the CBA main controller for other projects.
Parallax
BASIC Stamp 2e
The main
controller board is controlled by a Parallax BASIC Stamp
2e. The BASIC Stamp
in the Experimentation Station is the OEM version. This has
the advantage of lower cost but also allows the IO pins of
the BASIC Stamp to be protected from direct electrical shorts.
For more
information on the BASIC Stamp see the Parallax
Web site.
Expansion
and Experimentation
The controller
board's design has many opportunities for expansion and experimentation.
These include:
- Headers
for two servos
- Headers
for two wheel encoders or other
sensors
- All
16 BASIC Stamp IO pins are protected by resistors and brought
to a header for breadboarding
- Expansion
header with all connections to allow for easy addition
of add-on kits like LCD displays and sensor boards
- Fits
Parallax AppMods with no modifications
