More Inputs

For the to to I'm about to build I need 18 servos 2 dc motors and a couple ultrasonics but as far as I know the ez board only has 20 digital I/O's and it looks like the motor controller takes 5!? How and can you add more servos controls? And can the program control more then 1 board?

Oh did not know that, how do you go about doing that and in the program?

#3  

Boards are referenced in a similar fashion to ports on the board.

#4  

How do you connect two boards

#5  

Each board has it's own Bluetooth connection. When you run ARC there is a list from 0-4. Connect each one to a comm port.

#6  

And you can run two boards in one robot? With it being seamless because I'm a bit confused on how that would work with one board having most the servos then say the next board using the motor and sensors all working in unison? Also Bret said 5 boards can be used?

#7  

Yes it does. I personally don't own two boards yet but its pretty straight forward. Have you viewed the tutorials yet?

I haven't seen one for two boards but I just want to make sure it works before I start spending money
