zlalanne 37 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I have finished my first revision of the RedBot BoosterPack. For those that don't know SparkFun has a robotics kit they call the "RedBot". Which is basically an Arduino, robot chassis and a bunch of sensors. This BoosterPack basically replaces the Arduino and allows you to plug in your favorite 40-pin LaunchPad to interact with the hardware. Check out my GitHub link below for more information on the differences. SparkFun sells the robot chassis and motors for $15 on its website, using it with this BoosterPack and a LaunchPad is a low cost way to get into robotics. I have started to port the Arduino library to Energia and currently have support for the motors. The GitHub project below has a lot more info and the current project status.

The chassis from SparkFun includes all screws + standoffs to mount correctly Sideview of the BoosterPack + F5529 LaunchPad mounted to the robot chassis GeekDoc, Rei Vilo, JonnyBoats and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
