Looking for something really fast for your robot and with minimal size and power requirements . This baby can do Full HD and run Windows 7 . Just add a Webcam and a USB servo controller and ur taken care for.
Takes 12V DC and with just 7 Watt of fanless operation .
fit-pc 1 is even smaller !!!

I wanted a single sided motor shield which would allow me to control a few servos and 2 DC Motors. All this while allowing easy sensor interfacing. The shield had to be single sided and DIP for DIY.
The shield given below is the result for the same.

- DIY Single sided PCB
- Easy sensor interfacing
- Stackable
Just Visited DefExpo Today , All types of Unmanned robots on display. There were live Demos also so it was a good, nothing beats real life .
DRDO too has some really impressive UAV stuff on display, dont know why the forces not using all of it. Also many Indian companies building robots , unlike what i thought. One company from Himachal Pradesh too!!!, never expected that. Also saw PackBot and Talon in real life.
Good Experience in all, pictures say more than words so
These Days im building a Balancing Robot so here are step wise how to interface a arduino to Accelerometer and Gyro
Things ive used
1. ATmega8 Arduino ( ARP 1.0u)
2. DIY Proto Shield
3. 3.3V Zener + 330 Ohm for 3.3V supply
4. Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout – MMA7260 ( @Sparkfun )
5. Gyro Breakout Board – LY530AL – 300°/s ( @Sparkfun )
The Gyro and Accelerometer were bought from Feemo India , as i found them the cheapest retailers
I make prototypes of single sided PCB's at home before i send them over to a PCB maker , So here is a quick Tutorial of what i do ...
Things you need -
1. Ferric Chloride
2. Copper Clad Board
3. Laser Printer
4. Fine sand paper
Step 1. Print layout on glossy paper and cut a Copper Clad PCB accordingly. Use fine sandpaper to clean PCB. Leave extra edges around layout , it helps in transfer.
