Baby Orangutan robot controller mega168
The Baby Orangutan is Pololu’s smallest robot controller: it packs an AVR microcontroller and two motor drivers into a tiny 24-pin DIP package, making it perfect for everything from micro sumos to auxiliary control on larger robots. This version includes Atmel’s mega168 microcontroller with 16 KB of program memory and 1 KB of RAM.
