(Available as a Kit or Assembled)

CYBER2 Robot Includes:

  • (2) 12" diameter (30cm) decks
  • (4) white deck spacers
  • (2) 12 VDC 20in-lb torque drive motors 
  • (2) 6" (15 cm) diameter drive wheels
  • (2) 3" (7.5 cm) diameter casters
  • The maximum recommended payload is 35 lbs. (13.6 kgs.)

Plus:

  • Motorola 68HC11 based CPU board with 32K of battery backed RAM.

  • Program in freely available Interactive C, GCC, SBasic, Forth, Assembly, etc.  Since there are so many options available, software is not included.

  • RS-232 Communications Board

  • (1) dual motor driver based on the Texas Instruments SN754410 chip
  • Devantech SRF04 UltraSonic Ranger - use for a non-contact collision avoidance system or distance measuring sensor.

  • (2) optics that can be used for pulse encoders

  • Battery Holders

  • Connectors & Hookup Wire

  • Your choice of Clear or Black polycarbonate Body Armor (Note: Kit comes in Clear)

Program the Finger Board II in the easy to learn Interactive C just like a MIT Handy Board and Rug Warrior, or take advantage of the many other public domain software available on the web such as GCC, SBasic, Forth, Assembly, etc.  or use a commercial compiler.  

Excellent documentation and additional add-on circuits to the Finger Board II can be found at the EAS Web site.

CPU Board Specifications:
Motorola 68HC11 CPU.
256kbit (32Kbyte) Dallas battery-backed memory module, no need to use EPROM's or slower EEPROM's.
Compact size 2" X 2.85" (main CPU board)
Interactive C compatible LCD interface.
Network capable Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
No expensive hardware programmer needed, programs can be downloaded using a standard serial port.

Expansion Ports, list of headers:
Port A of 68HC11, 8 multi function I/O pins (JP8).
Port E of 68HC11, 8 analog channels (JP7).
Memory mapped I/O, Finger Board can be easily expanded to have 32 digital inputs and 32 digital output lines (JP9).
IRQ and XIRQ lines brought out for external interrupts (JP11).
Standard 9 pin serial port (P1).
SPI high speed serial interface, an easy way to attach peripherals (JP4).
LCD display interface (JP2).
Sharp IR receiver input (JP10).
Speaker output (JP12).
Infrared transmitter output (JP13).
MODB select (JP18)
External A/D reference input (JP6)
SRAM battery backup (JP19)

Power requirements:
7 to 18 Volts DC. Can easily run from a 9 Volt DC battery.
Current consumption: 24ma. DC without communications board < 10ma in WAIT mode, or STOP mode
30ma. DC with communications board.

Dimensions:
CPU board only 2.85" long 2.0" wide.
Communications board 1.15" long 2.0" wide.

The kit requires partial assembly of the risers/decks and mounting modules as well as good soldering skills to assemble the 68HC11 CPU board, RS-232 communication board, connectors and component wiring.  Material is provided you can use to make brackets and hold-down straps.  Optics and encoder patterns are included for your experimentation, but not connected.  Common  materials such as solder, heat-shrink tubing, and the tools required for assembly are not included.

The assembled robot comes completely assembled with an Explore/DEMO program pre-loaded and is ready to go, right out of the box.  Battery Holders are provided to use C Size batteries, but a 12VDC@5Ah battery is recommended and can be purchased at Radio Shack.  Optics and encoder patterns are included for your experimentation, but not connected.
