Title: AXON II (FOR ADMIN)
Post by: michealcollins on September 29, 2011, 01:46:19 PM

Hi, I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this in, but I want to order the Axon II Microcontroller, but I just learned that the engineer (who is the SOR admin and main proprieter of Axon II) is in Thailand.

Can I still order one? Or do I have to wait for him to be back in the US? Im not sure if he personally ships them, or he has a company shipping them...

Thank you!

Hi,

Drop him a PM or an email (or both), but just don't expect an immediate answer.

If you're really in a hurry though, he does sell them via other online robot stores.

I think this topic would better be fitted if it was in the miscellaneous section.   ;)

Oh and the forum description mentions "materials" so I figure this one would do..

Ok so I checked out all the sites that the Axon II is sold on...and it seems they are all waiting on stock...one said Oct 21st...so...can the Arduino do the same thing? Can I use the same code I compiled fo the Axon? and the VrBot voice recognition module?

Hmmmm when you made that post, I was in Shenzhen, China. But now I'm in Thailand :P

But yea, you got my email already, so just posting this for everyone else. The Axon is still for sale, and I have someone in the US to send orders out.

The Axon is like the Arduino, but with 4x the quantity of features. And the Axon is easier to hook up to stuff, smaller, etc. If you search the forum, this question has been asked often (worth looking up for more detailed differences/opinions) :P

What same code? Anything compiled must be compiled for the ATmega640 for it to work.

and the VrBot voice recognition module?

Yea, that will work with any mcu that has a UART.
