Hi Joby, > I am planning to upgrade a Mark III robot to use gumstix. First of all is it a stupid idea? It might be overkill, but I wouldn't call it a stupid idea. > May be I need to build things over from the scratch with larger dimensions and power. > > I want to have the following capability > > a)Control 4 motors. > b)Process stereo audio and play it out. > c)Atleast 6 ADC ports. > > What would be a good configuration? > Robostix+audiostix2? Since you can't plug both of those in at the same time, I'd use a roboaudiostix. You're still going to need an H-Bridge if you're going to be driving a permanent DC motor. If you're using servos like the original Mark III does, then the robostix can drive them directly. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
