Delivering a fun platform for learning and evaluating real-time software and Stellaris microcontrollers (MCUs), Texas Instruments has announced the availability of its new robotic evaluation board (EVALBOT) for use with Micrium’s μC/OS-III.
The evaluation kit is a mini robot that allows developers to experience the Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3-based LM3S9B92 MCU in real-world applications that leverage the processor’s integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY, USB On-The-Go, CAN and motion control capabilities. Based on a complete analog and embedded processing signal chain from TI, the kit includes all of the hardware and software required for quick assembly so that developers can begin evaluation in 10 minutes or less. The EVALBOT is available with a Stellaris-specific version of μC/OS-III, which reveals how a real-time kernel works using Micrium’s μC/OS-III and the Stellaris EVALBOT as references.
Two DC gear-motors provide drive and steering, opto-sensors detect wheel rotation with 45° resolution, and sensors provide bump detection. The kit also includes a bright 96 x 6 blue OLED display and onboard speaker.
