The motor controller is commanded over the Arduino’s serial interface, and will support a serial interface to ROS (Robot Operating System) in the future.

Okay, all you Arduino fans, now that you've mastered the basics of blinking LEDs, driving motors, and monitoring environmental sensors, you're ready for something a little more interesting, right ...

This machine uses a three-phase Dahlander motor, which has three operation modes: stop, half speed, and full speed. The motor uses a special mechanical switch to select the operating mode.

Arduino fans will love the Makeblock Arduino starter robot kit that we have in the Geeky Gadgets Deals store.
