Baby Orangutan B-168 Robot Controller
 
|
The Baby Orangutan B-168 is a very compact but complete robot controller, packing a high-performance AVR microcontroller and two motor drive channels in the same 24-pin form factor as competing units that include just a microcontroller. You can connect your battery, sensors, and motors directly to this small module to make a miniature robot, or you can use the Baby Orangutan as an auxiliary controller in larger robots. This version includes Atmel’s ATmega168 microcontroller with 16 KB of program memory and 1 KB of RAM.
