- Simple to use
and understand serial user interface. It is jumper selectable for
2400 or 9600 Baud and takes very few bytes to program.
- Eight ramping
servo controllers - allow smooth starts and stops for modified servo
drive motors and slow panning movement of accessory servos. Send two
bytes to the Co-Processor to do a ramped move from where the servo
is currently to where the command sends it. Ramps are often set only
once (again by sending two bytes) at the beginning of the program
but they may be reprogrammed whenever desired. You can easily read
back the setpoints or current commanded position of any of the servo
channels.
- Eight timers settable
in 20 ms increments allow a processor to continue working rather than
stopping for a PAUSE instruction. The processor tests one line to
see if any of the timers have timed out. That is a quick I/O bit test
so there is little overhead. When a timeout occurs, the user sends
one byte and gets back one byte with a bit in it for each timer. The
act of reading the status byte resets the flags for the next timeout.
The timers are unique in a servo controller and rather easily allow
multitasking - In a BASIC Stamp®!
- Five channels
of 10 bit A/D. Can also be read as 8 bit for times when faster result
with less resolution is preferred.
- IR Proximity Detector
built in. Setting the frequency under program control can change the
sensitivity. Two of the servo channels can be dedicated to driving
LEDs that indicate the state of the "vision" system.
- Two Bumper inputs.
- We have a Subsumption
Engine that is very useful to wheeled robots. Extensive documentation
further on the website and in the Co-Processor manual explain Subsumption
and how to use it.
- Extensive Co-Processor
information in manual for training and programmer's reference.
