Spare realrobots Cybot parts of any use?
Hello,
I've been following the realrobots magazine and have a half completed cybot around here. It's still very basic(just came to the part where you can program it with the pc).
But now I've got some spare parts here, including:
2 Sonar transmitters
2 Sonar receivers
1 IR transeiver(for communication with Cybot's remote)
2 LDR's
1 Motor driver board
2 DC Motors
1 Light processor board
1 UC4 Board(one of it's processors)
1 UC4 EEPROM board
Now, all I know about robotics is in that realrobots magazine and in the Boe-Bot book, so don't blame me for asking stupid questions
My question is: Can I use some of these parts with my Boe Bot?
I already know how to use the LDR's, the mototrs and the motor driver board [noparse];)[/noparse], but I'm particulary interested in the two processor boards and the sonar sensors. Can I use the sonar things with a BS2? And would it be possible to reprogram the processors(I don't know anything about them, only the board number/name)?
Thanks in advance.

the motors:
From what I have learned here, motors can't be driven by the STAMP directly, but this tutorial tells how:

I'm sure the sonars will be of use. Check out Ping)) diagrams and example code.
IR receiver's-
You need a transmitter and a receiver if you want to do something.
I have no clue about everything else.
AC fishing
I am from Portugal
I have a Cybot with damaged motor control board.
've Been looking for a substitute, and I saw your comment in the forum, still have your parts available?
thanks
