    BrainBoard Rover w/ Bluetooth and 10 Degrees of Freedom

    If you're gonna do something, you may as well do it right. And this is the granddaddy of roving BrainBoard robots - it'll pretty much stomp its way over any obstacle in its way and is a great kit for a higher performance robot where you want to see what it can really do.



    10 Degrees of Freedom

    We think our 10 degrees of freedom module is insanely great. In one tiny module you get a triple axis accelerometer, 3 axis gyro, magnetometer, barometric sensor and a temp sensor. We do this all in a cost effective package that you slip on the BrainBoard and you're ready to go. We have sample code and an example so you can see how easy it is to utilise this tool for a huge range of applications. 
    Bump sensing and orientation are now simple. Data-logging temp and pressure just became straight forward.


    Bluetooth

    Bluetooth opens doors to wireless communication and control. Send data back to your computer or drive your tank with your Android phone using a free app on the Google Play Store. 
    Our bluetooth module plugs into the Brainboard right on top or you can wire it with standard jumper wires to your brainboard if you're using the 10DOF module in that position. 


    BrainBoard

    We call it an ‘Arduino-Compatible Swiss Army Knife'. With a motor driver, a bunch of sensors, and the guts of a full Arduino Nano integrated onboard you have the tools to build your project quickly and neatly. Or you can follow our example projects and build a heart rate monitor, a roving tank, integrate Bluetooth wireless communications, start your home automation project or create a data logger for science experiments.

    Why BrainBoard?


    We designed BrainBoard from the ground up to be beginner-friendly. Who’s it for? Great for classrooms, kids, hobbyists, and experienced programmers who want to dip their toes in hardware. Well documented projects with clear and easy to understand code make it quick to pick up and see results.

    Our design philosophy is to provide a range of inexpensive add-on modules that clip on top of the board to push the limits of what it can do. We wanted to bring as much tech to as many people as possible, so the difference between our approach and the usual Arduino shields is that ours are inexpensive, simple, and made specifically for BrainBoard. Add a Bluetooth module, an OLED display, 10-DOF or micro-SD card module (currently in the works, watch this space!) and let your imagination do the rest without hurting the wallet.

    What's onboard:
    • Based on Arduino Nano 3.0 with ATMega328 -- 100% Arduino compatible
    • 32 kB code space, 2kB used by bootloader
    • 2 kB SRAM
    • 16 MHz clock speed
    • 1 A Two-channel motor driver (drive two DC motors, four relays, or one stepper motor)
    • Light dependant resistor (light sensor)
    • Temperature sensor
    • Hand turned potentiometer
    • Two user input buttons
    • Six LEDs wired in three pairs
    • Piezo buzzer (the variable tone variety)
    • 13 user I/O pins with 11 capable of digital I/O and 4 capable of analog input (some do both)
    • USB mini connection with standard Arduino FTDI drivers for communication back to PC
