Arming developers with more software and tool options, Texas Instruments announced the availability of its newest Stellaris microcontroller (MCU) robotic evaluation platform (EVALBOT).
The new mini-robot platform within TI’s embedded processing portfolio provides developers the flexibility to choose from a variety of software tool chains so they can fully access the features of the Stellaris Cortex-M3 MCU in their preferred environment. The updated EVALBOT is also preloaded with a StellarisWare application, and the kits now include more example projects in source code, including a demo that enables developers to more easily experiment with the kit’s expansion port that supports TI wireless evaluation modules.
Two DC gear-motors provide drive and steering, opto sensors detect wheel rotation with 45° resolution, and sensors are included for bump detection.
