Wild Thumper Controller Board

The Wild Thumper robot controller is an AVR / Arduino compatible controller that offers enthusiast the ability to get their robot up and running quickly an easily. Although relatively small in size this controller is packed with features:

• Dual 15A continuous FET “H” bridges with individual fuse protection.
• Current sensing for both “H” bridges.
• Blown fuse can be detected by processor and indication LED.
• 7 digital I/O pins terminated with 3 pin male header allowing servos to plug in directly.
• 5 analog inputs terminated with 3 pin male headers to supply power for sensors.
• 5A LDO regulator to supply power for logic, servos and sensors.
• 2A DC power socket for testing / programming and recharging.
• SLA, NiCd and NiMh batteries can be charged via onboard 2A current regulator.
• Processor can monitor battery voltage and control recharge circuitry.
• Communicates via USB, TTL serial, and I2C. Can also work with RC and analog inputs.
• Atmega 168 processor with 16K flash memory.
• Arduino / AVR compatibility. Program via USB or ISP interface.
• Comes preloaded with Arduino boot loader and software.
