The Heart of Robotics
The RoBoard RB-100 is a powerful computer dedicated to robotics applications. Based on the Vortex86DX, a 32bit x86 CPU running at 1000MHz with 256MB DRAM and is compatible with Windows, Linux and DOS. This is more than just a controller board, it offers you a truly computer-based robot.
RoBoard allows users to install Windows and Linux series O/S through the Micro-SD as bootable storage, which, in a way, provides users an easier way to develop robotics applications
The RB-100 has rich I/O interfaces to servos, DC motors, sensors, gyroscope, accelerometers and other devices. Also, it has built-in PWM up to 32 Ch, GPIO, RS-232 serial, TTL serial, RS-485,USB V2.0 x 3, A/D convert, SPI/I2C bus, Audio out & Mic in, 10/100M LAN and Mini PCI socket
