Is it possible to use more than one controller board on Boe-Bot? Can I (for example) have to Boe-s or a Boe and a propeller etc.?
Please reply!

    Mechanically, it's quite possible to mount two BOEs or a BOE and a Propeller Protoboard on a BoeBot chassis. The mounting holes are compatible. You can connect the Vin and ground connections of the two boards together and, for two BOEs, you can create a network as described in the PBasic manual in the SERIN/SEROUT chapters. For a BOE/Protoboard, it's possible to do the same thing, but the wiring would be different. You'd have to develop your own programming since there's no "ready-made" provisions for this and no detailed examples. It's not hard, but there's no support for it.
