Benefit Of Onboard Computer

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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.

Agreed. However these SBC boards take a long time to boot into Windows and start up ARC. Once you are into Win and want to work in the interface, there is also a lag in the time you click on a menu or button and the response. However data seems to be sent to your EZB quick enough.

Another advantage (may have already been motioned) is that if you can hard wire connections to EZBs through USB you don't have to run data through your home WIFI or use WIFI AP mode.
