Title: A Question About the Roboduino
Post by: Joker94 on December 13, 2009, 11:32:20 PM
I am thinking about getting a Roboduino and want to know if i can hook it up to my computer through the usb cable and recieve sensor data or if i still need the UART connection.

I may have some more questions but not as of yet.

Thanks

That is the UART connection! The roboduino works exactly like a normal arduino, the difference being header pins.
