Asendtech has several of these tiny 6 in x 6 in mini pc / CPU combo , just 29.99 , very very good option for a autonomous robot (a person doesn't need to be at a computer or laptop wirelessly controlling it ). These draw about 12 watts. I just bought one , get them while they are hot! - Josh
Have you used the EZ-B??????? There are 20 digital I/O pins on the EZ-B. I watched DJ's tutorial video on PWM. It showed four wires connected to ENA, +5, +5, ENB. DJ responded to my eariler question concerning the L289N, and said that only one pin ( ENA ) would control both "enable" pins. ?????????????????????????
I couldn't find any identifing numbers or markings on the motor driver, so I've attached some pics below.
Thanks again.
second motor its the same IN4 is PWM digital pin,IN3 is DIR digital pin ,ENB is GND
if you want good control ENA and ENB can be tied together and use a digital to turn if off on over current or a problem or connect to a simple current comparator circuit
both protect the chip from a current overload
using the digital pin will need a analog input for a current monitor
where current comparator doesnt need a digital pin or analog pin,its a 8 pin cheap chip and few resistors,plus a current monitor board on ebay about $4
ARC SETUP need 2 PWM controls ,pwm left set D15 IN CONFIG
in pwm right set D17 in cofig
then 4 wire motor control, left trig A at D15,LEFT trigB at D16,RIGHT trigA at D17 and
right trigB at D18
ON WIRE FROM BOARD IN1 is D15,IN2 is D16,IN4 is D17,IN3 is D18
ARC file is attached

Thanks

since does take both and some come with it,memory just little low
i can look for another one,but i do have one at home havent tested it yet
reallly need 2 gig or more 1.6 mhz is ok on speed,so thinking it might work is dual core
atom 330
BC is is one dual core 1.6 mhz up to 2 gig ram,i have one at home running LEAF
low power ,just add 2gig of ram
1.6 ghz up to 2gig ram
Thanks.
i would under 3 ghz and 4 gig ram manly because others will much current
that 512/533 is not the speed ,speed on that board is 1.6ghz
that is the cache and memory speed
BC i look at the specs again that is a perfect board for LEAF ,JUST ADD 4 GIG OF MEMORY
person selling that board does have it wrong ,there is no 512meg of memory installed
just need to ask a question to make shore it does have ATOM 330 ,some with same model number has a ATOM 230 witch is a single core
check page 2 of this post i have FX160 specs
I am still having problems with Leaf vision but I will ask about that on the yahoo group.
Thanks for your help.
BC
@ jstarnel, thanks for the information.
BC
if not there many other FX160 that ebay has that has dual core
have the same board ,but had to double check to make shore it was a dual core processor
Thanks.

Could your tell us if the 5 Audio Connector (AUDIOF1) and 7 Front Panel Connector (FRONTPANEL) on the motherboard itself are labeled with pinouts?

@ndavid all ITX board connection all the same on all boards
i have a notebook running 1.6 mhz 4gig ram,it runs everything great,but i tuned it up
you need a program called XPLITE,it removes programs and resources not needed.there so many using the memory and then you try to open a program it wont start fast or be slow
you should see how many many programs on the robot computer not needed
speed does fix the problem,BUT as more speed or power so does the heat and battery usage goes up
in XP PRO and other operating systems there is a program that tell you how much memory is used
called WINDOWS TASK MANAGER (ctr-alt-del)
memory should be half of the installed memory with all programs running ,and there is a CPU usage meter telkling you how much the CPU is using ,should look at near 35% ,mine i have it at 20% or less
another slowing down computers alot,seen to much i have to fix at work ,till they got another IT computer guy,is they need disc cleanup and DEFRAG
