Program robots using technologies created by industry experts. ARC is our free-to-use robot programming software that makes features like vision recognition, navigation, and artificial intelligence easy.
@irobot, look at it logically, pin headers are 0.1" spacing, you have 11 down the one side, plus the vcc/ground makes 12. You have 3 either end (ADCs and D7 to D0) so that's another 6 on top of the 12 which is 18. Plus 0.1" gap around the edge totalling 20 x 0.1"
That prototype is missing a few new features for the next weeks version. Including an audio amplifier and new ports for the EZ-chain... Which networks EZ-b's on the same connection.
I wonder how the EZ Chain on one connection will handle projects with a lot of things going on that will require bandwith and computing power. Let's say two boards fully loaded with many servos, camera and ADC montoring. Will the bluetooth handle all that at once for better or worse on one connection?
I do like the lower profile the lack of heat sinks will give. This will help me out a lot. I wonder about cooling. Will this change make the heat disapate to the board? If so will the board get real hot and cause problems. Very interesting changes and looking forward to how these changes will effect the board and how it works in real life.
Ups to linking: One connection, don't have to fiddle around connecting all the boards. Controls everything through one connection Don't tie up bandwidth with multiple boards
Downs: Slower responces More wiring in an already complex project of wires Requires more out of your PC

My guess is the board will be 2" x 2"
I just stumbled upon something else
EDIT: just went to the shop. WE'RE SO CLOSE! My Rad project AleX just got very happy!
@Technopro .....luv your enthusiasm!
