axon, ariduno or roboduno?
« on: January 11, 2009, 05:51:54 AM »
im in australia and im looking for a microcontroller for basic, starting projects. what do you guys think my best options would be, i would prefer one that doesnt need a programmer but will if its better for me. hope you guys can help me :)
EDIT: i forgot to add i wont really need to control too many servos/motors maybe 5-6 most and wont be using the most expensive sensors maybe sharp ir or the photoresistor circuit. and is there anywhere online to buy connectors for admins wire crimp tutorial, i cant find the "crimps" or connectors anywhere?

They all don't need hardware programmers
Axon and Roboduino have power busses and the Arduino does not
Axon and Roboduino are plug and play for servos and sensors, Arduino is not

It all depends on what your budget is.

About servos  - Axon can do up to 29 , Roboduino can do up to 6

if you are only using up to 5-6 servos, i would go for the roboduino as it probably the second best to the axon and has all your needs.

As of now CuriousInventor is the sole provider- but don't worry they ship internationally all the time.

Get the assembled/tested version if you think you are terrible at soldering . Otherwise get the kit version - its not that hard to solder up.

You can also buy connectors and a crimper at curious inventor, I got my crimper and connnecters there and they work great.
