1. Introduction

Orangutans’ integrated motor drivers set this robot controller line apart from other programmable microcontroller boards like the Basic Stamp and Arduino controllers. By tying a high-performance AVR microcontroller directly to a powerful dual H-bridge capable of driving two DC brushed motors, we have produced platforms that can serve as both the brains and brawn of your robot.

This application note is intended to give you the information you need to easily interface with the motor drivers on your Orangutan LV-168 or Baby Orangutan B.
