The XO laptop sits on a baseplate which also has 2 [http://www.robotis.com/xe/dynamixel_en motors], [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Kit_de_sensores sensors] and battery pack. | The XO laptop sits on a baseplate which also has 2 [http://www.robotis.com/xe/dynamixel_en motors], [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Kit_de_sensores sensors] and battery pack. | ||
The motors and sensors interface to the XO through a small PCB, either [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega Arduino Mega] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia Usb4butia PCB (PIC 18F4550)]. | The motors and sensors interface to the XO through a small PCB, either [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega Arduino Mega] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia Usb4butia PCB (PIC 18F4550)]. The connection between the XO and the small PCB is by USB cable. The cable must stay connected while the program is running. | ||
The robot's controlling program runs on the XO laptop, typically TurtleBots, the pallette of blocks is shown below. Control by programs in [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Butialo Lua] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Python Python] are also possible. | The robot's controlling program runs on the XO laptop, typically TurtleBots, the pallette of blocks is shown below.
