Bot Bench I'd Rather Be Building Robots
OpenElectrons is a site created by Mindsensors to be for the Android and Arduino platforms what their Mindsensors.com site is to the Mindstorms NXT platform.
Android OS and devices offer many features that are fantastic for people wanting to build an easy-to-program robot with many capabilities already built-in. Arduino is also a platform rich with peripherals and software that can be used for robotics easily and extensively.
According to Deepak Patil, one of the people behind Mindsensors.com and OpenElectrons, the objective of this new site is to provide electronics to facilitate the integration of Android and Arduino and Arduino with NXT sensors and motors.
They’re starting off with the NXShield and the Teemino and are working on many other ideas for release in the near future. So stay tuned!
Hi,
Do you know if the teenimo as a RS485 port?
Thanks
looking for “teenimo RS485” in Google (without the quotation marks) doesn’t get me any results at all, so I guess not. But I’m not sure.
I’ve let Mindsensors know about your question. Hopefully they’ll get back to me 🙂
This is what Deepak told me:
“Out of the box it won’t support RS485, but like Arduino, it has ability to support it with additional hardware and software. We anticipate a dongle and protocol library in near future that will enable RS485.”
this a good news 🙂 thanks xander
