The LattePanda Robot Hack

I'm hacking the lattepanda to control Robotis Dynamixel servos and use a USB camera for machine vision. This will be a fun hack because the LattePanda is a powerful robot controller when it's running ARC and the appropriate Arduino middleware firmware. See you tonight!

I'm curious as to the various flavors of the Panda. I see another one listed as Alpha and Delta. They seem to be a bit more powerful with each version.....more RAM and different CPUs. I cant seem to find if there is an  Arduino on the alpha and deltas...anyone know?

Thanks Pedro! Seems some of the hardware like the 10 inch touch screen don’t work with these versions.:(

Will - i think any touch screen with USB would work. The USB driver would be supported by the OS - and this case, Microsoft Windows. I don't know of any USB device that doesn't have a windows driver:D. Unless the touch screen is connected via I2C or something.... If it's USB, it'll work with the latte panda or anything running Windows.

Yeppers! That post was from last summer. I got a 10 inch touch screen and works great with the Panda. I’ll be installing everything in episode 5!

Will, I think when you were looking for a 10 inch touch screen for the Panda you found it hard to get one that was touch screen?

Which one did you buy in the end, is it for the Latte Panda with the special video cable, or the standard HTML video connector, or both?

I have a 7 inch touch screen on my Inmoov for the Latte Panda with standard HTML connector, but it’s so hard and frustrating to use the touch screen accurately due to the size of screen, and I have small fingers!!

I’m thinking of replacing it with a 10 inch touch screen and really wished I brought the 10 inch screen in the first place.

Yes I am very happy with this version. I got the 7 inch first and agreed I just could not see or touch the screen very well. This one has:  HIGH RESOLUTION - The 10.1 inch IPS touchscreen LCD monitor with high resolution of 1280×800 pixels. PLUG AND PLAY - Just connect the control board and the screen by an HDMI cable and it can work immediately no driver. here is the link:
