BotBoarduino Hardware Information.

The image above illustrates the shorting bar jumpers (the black rectangles) as they are on the board as it is

shipped. The jumpers are used to set operating parameters for the board. It should not be assumed that they are

correct for your project as changes are likely to be required. Please consult the tutorial for your project for the

proper shorting bar jumper positions.

The BotBoarduino is 3.00" x 2.30" with 0.125" holes set in 0.15" from each edge.

/26/2018 www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build185.htm 1. The BotBoarduino is based on the Arduino Duemilanove. In the Arduino programming environment you must select "Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328". Simply plug a USB Mini cable from this plug to a free USB port on your PC for programming the processor and receiving debug information. For help with USB drivers, go to the official Arduino page. To prevent damaging the board's USB port, you must remove the USB cable from a MOBILE robot! 2.

These headers bring out analog pins A4 and A5 for use with the I2C comunication protocol. To use this header you must install jumpers horizontally across the SDA-P and SCL-P headers. 13. This allows you to power the Servos and Logic from the same battery. It simply connects the VS input to the VL input.

You must make sure to connect the battery or wall pack with the proper polarity. This means the red wire is positive (+) and the black wire is ground (-).

2/26/2018 www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build185.htm In the Arduino programming environment, make sure you have selected "Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328". The Lynxmotion PS2 controller has issues with the analog mode on the Lynxmotoin left pad (often displaying 0 rather than analog values). We suggest using the joysticks as alternative analog inputs. http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build185.
