Title: Lynxmotion Mini Atom Bot Board V2
Post by: RoBoTicS on December 07, 2008, 08:08:37 AM

Does anyone have this MCU?  If you do is it worth anything.  I have been looking for one and came across this one and might decide to get it unless somebody knows of some drawbacks it has.

This $25 board requires serial, and I think your laptop probably only has USB. So you'd have to spend ~$16+ on an adapter. It also doesn't come with the basic Atom, so you'd have spend another ~$52 on that too (or $63 for a better one).

Adding all that up, including ~$10 shipping, it comes to like ~$103.


(cough, get an Axon it has way more features, cough cough ;D)
