Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a control module for a robot i want to build.

i've look on at things like this but its not exacly what i need

here is what i need to do ...
i want to thru serial/pararell control motors.
wire not wifi ...

needs to be able to control a motor forward or reverse and control how much voltage is sent out... i remmeber back in school in 97 they had controller boards for lego i believe that would allow you to do this ... i was able to run a motor clockwise for say 15 seconds depending on the script and than in reverse.... and it was controlled through code...



PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE MOSTLY APPRECIATED i want to teach my son some robotics. is there any controller boards or something i could build myself to control about 10-15 devices (by voltage meaning in reverse it will be swap the + and -)

please oh please help me i am going crazy...
i am willing to learn a few things if i need to construct it

this website might be of some help..

www.usfirst.org

They do a lot with robots (I would know I did it for 3 years). Look at the "kit of parts" and maybe some other things...it seems like you only need a servo. good luck

yes i can get servo controllers but what i would like to do is a a few runners

u know how a printer moves back and fourth ? i want a few of those which a servo cant do ...
maybe have a vertial and horizantal runner to draw out a few lines...
i dont want a mobile robot.... more like automation... any ideas?
