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!

Thanks Will, that’s the one I’ve been looking at ( SunFounder ), the only issue is it’s 12v powered, which would mean I would have to rethink my whole power system on my Inmoov, not a massive issue, but would require extra work!

@CEM, what is your main power voltage? You can simply use a boost or buck converter just in front of the display. Eiser then redoing your power grid.

Dave, I only run my Inmoov from battery as I don’t want it tied via cable to a mains socket. l have a 7.4v @ 4amps running the 3x EZB controllers, power amp, and a DC to DC converters for the 5v supply for the latte panda and touch screen. And have a 6v 12.5amps lead acid battery powering the Servos. I could use a DC to DC converter as you suggested on the 7.4v rail to supply 12v for the screen, but with only 4 amps running the Panda, Power audio Amplifier, 3x EZBs and Screen it won’t last long before I will have to recharge.
