Eddie Control Board

jdolecki

Is the Eddie Control board for sale yet? My current plan is to run a Propeller board thru a sabertooth 2x25 motor controller.

Im thinking this might a good fit for my telepresence bot. Which is an surplus hospital computer cart.

In the Eddie thread, Jessica said: "Yes, the Eddie Board will be available separately, but not for awhile yet. The board does use some uncommon connectors for power and the motors, so we would like to work out a way to provide some kind of wire harness with the board. We'll post more info when we can!"

@jdolecki: "My current plan is to run a Propeller board thru a sabertooth 2x25 motor controller."

The Eddie Propeller Controller Board has high current built-in motor drivers.

Just a thought.

jdolecki - WOW! That's an awesome looking 'bot!

As Tom C has already said, the board isn't yet available for individual sale since we're still thinking about how to offer it. We do, however, have documentation published where you can learn more about its specifications and features. Check it out here.

Cheers,

Offer it with the power wiring harness (that includes the funky connector for power), and a couple of the plugs that go in the motor connections.

I suspect it'll be fairly expensive considering what all is on the board. Probably $150-200, maybe even a bit more?
