Title: New to forum, just saying 'Hi'...
Post by: daveslee on September 06, 2010, 06:33:32 AM
Hi - just joined and thought I would say 'Hi'!
I stumbled across the forum whilst looking for a micro-controller for my CarPC build - and have to say the Axon ticks all the boxes! My CarPC will be voice activated and will have all the usual things like SatNav, MP3/4, engine diagnostics etc etc but I also want to be able to control some of the car electronics like electric windows, climate control, security etc - hence the need for a micro-controller (obviously I wont run directly through the controller, I will use relays etc!)

After looking into the controller a bit more, I think I will probably be buying two of them as I am now intrigued by robotics, its a bit of a childhood fantasy of mine! Anyway, like I say, just a quick post to say 'Hi'!

David

Hi! Welcome.

Admin tells us Axon stock is low, so don't delay in ordering them.

If you haven't picked it up already, the Axon really shines when powered by Webbotlib. I created a video tutorial on how to get started with Axon and Webbotlib.
