Control Electronics

So the control electronics is connected to your PC via the USB, it does all the processing and sends the actions back to the circuit board?

Did you have to make that yourself too!?!

Servo controllers

I've updated Rodney's page with some information on the controller electronics. These are miniSSC controllers bought from www.robotstore.com, and not made by me. They communicate with the PC via COM1 or COM2 ports at 9600 baud.

PICXXYXX

Hello,

Interesting board! He use a PIC16C621. But, for poeple dont have the money or wish to do everything by themself, then, there is many projects avaible on the web with the shemas of the board that do the same thing ( with microchip 16f84 or motorola HC11, etc ). The price will be lesser ( about 15$ for the hole thing with connectors and microprocessor ).

Controling the paralel port is really easy but the serial port ( like this board ) is a bit harder and need a bit more time of coding.

So, you do a good job with Rodney motters, felecitations!

Salutations,

Fred
