It's been a bit long in the coming, but it's finally here: The Sumovore PICAXE Brainboard for the Solarbotics Sumovore!
One of the biggest tripping points we see from going from the pure digital/analog realm of BEAM to microcontrollers is learning the ins-and-outs of microcontrollers. The PICAXE nicely fills this void by offering a programming interface that is ...just a flowchart! Draw your logic diagram, hit program, and you're off and running!
We initially designed the PICAXE Brainboard to support both the 18X and 28X1 chips, but we've decided to simply package the kit with the PICAXE-28X1, which is a $10.50 chip itself. The 28X1 has enough I/O to support all the sensors (the 18X only supports 3 edge sensors), plus it has more memory and support for I2C (handy with several I2C-It sensors).
Here are the specifics:
It's another convenient way to expand the capabilities of your Sumovore!

We're sorry to say that we don't have them ready yet (major website development takes up staff man-hours), so please bear with us - we're working towards having something together. And no, we don't have […]
New updateWe've got confirmation from all three Turbot winners! They are: Scott Williams of New Jersey, USA, and... Amin Younes of New York State, USA! Emiel Roumen of the Netherlands! ps: Turbot kit looks like it'll be ready real soon!
We've got in an inventory of Grand Wing Servo S03N standard servos. These pack quite a bit of power, and prove to be pretty good for standard servo applications. We're sorry to say that the RM1 is no-more. The RM1 is dead; long live the RM1. (I never understood that phrase...) All hail the RM1a! […]
