Orangutan X2 Robot Controllers

Note: Our Orangutan X2 robot controllers have been discontinued; please consider one of our other robot controllers as an alternative.

Pololu’s Orangutan X2 is by far the most powerful Orangutan. The design features a dual-AVR architecture that leaves an Atmel ATmega1284P AVR microcontroller almost completely available to the user while taking care of low-level motor control tasks on the pre-programmed mega328P. This chip also doubles as a programmer for the master processor. A stacked motor driver PCB allows the compact integration of beefy motor drivers that can deliver hundreds of watts. The Orangutan X2 is available with the VNH2SP30 or VNH3SP30 motor drivers and with or without a 4-line x 20-character LCD.
