Our second board (the board that runs the speed controllers) is back from the board house as is the power regulation boards Ed designed. Our first speed controller housing is also finished, and we are knocking up some removable links so we can do a test run of all our electronics together a some point… Read more »

We are designing a number of custom boards to run our robot, the first of which the interface to our radio modules was finished last week and sent to the board house for manufacturing. Today that first set boards arrived in the post, so we now have a number of surface mount and through hole… Read more »
