Benefit Of Onboard Computer

Hello to all the members of the community here.

I am starting to build an InMoov robot project using ezb controllers and want to understand what if any is the benefit of adding a onboard computer to the project is?   Also what computer configuration would be best to use?

Currently I am going to be using a IoTiny in the head and two ezb4’s in the chest.

Thanks DJ, Because I have the newer BIOS in my Lattepanda already I just needed to do the following:

How to switch on/off the Auto-boot function in LP v1.1/v1.2:

1.Press [Esc] or [Del] once just boot up the system to enter the BIOS 2.Go into Boot->Machine Status AC/Battery In 3.Change it to Power On/Power Off

So thank you for pointing me in the right direction! As far as all the performance settings I have also done them per your recommendations.

DJ I have another question on the LattePanda when the Leonardo is loaded on it.  Are the below the only pins I can connect servos to?

Leonardo, Micro, Yún.    3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13     490 Hz (pins 3 and 11: 980 Hz)

I’m not sure on that. Arduinos are all different. Where’d you find those servo pins from?

one way is to try a port and see if it works

That looks like your answer then:)

Well that sucks because I could of used one more darn it.   I was hoping that was old information.  I need support for 8 servos and it only supports 7.

ok well thanks for your validation DJ.

I only validated the research you’ve done. I can’t verify if the servos work on other ports. Ardunio is open source and half of anything isn’t documented because open source people don’t get paid to do anything. So as I said, test it. Test a port and see if it works:)

i know some things but I don’t know all things haha
