Hi all,

The head for PeterBot is ready, it is actually a Xbee Maxstream radio 2.4Ghz, so I will be able to  control the robot wirelessly.

Servos and Processor board for PeterBot

This is a shot of the processor and servo’s interface board for PeterBot, the processor board has a Microchip 18F2221 microcontroller (Schematic posted before). The processor board was designed using the open source CAD program called KiCAD and the Servo’s interface was designed using the popular program Eagle.
