ArduinoBoardFioTips. The Arduino Fio is not quite as simple as the standard Arduino modules, because programming over the XBee wireless link has some complications. If you're aware of those complications, though, it's a simple board to use. Here are some tips that will make using it easier. Use the bootloader's baudrate when possible The Atmega328P bootloader communicates at 57600bps. This is why you have to configure your XBee radios to 57600bps in the examples above. If your sketches are going to communicate using the XBee radio serial link at a different baudrate, you will need to reconfigure the radios to that rate after programming. If you have to use a different baudrate for your application, consider programming the Fio using a wired link instead.

Use ASCII-encoded communication when possible The XBee radios have two modes, data mode, in which data is sent across them transparently, and command mode, in which they are configured serially. Be aware of the automatic (software) reset Here's why it matters: MP268 Wireless Charging Solution - China Wireless Charging Solution,Wireless Solution.

Baby Orangutan B-328 Robot Controller. Overview The Baby Orangutan is a complete control solution for small robots, all packed into a tiny 1.2" x 0.7" 24-pin DIP package. Its compact design eliminates bulkier components such as the LCD and switches while retaining the most essential features of the Orangutan robot controller line: a programmable ATmega48 or ATmega328P AVR microcontroller and a dual H-bridge for direct control of two DC motors.

This integrated motor driver sets the Baby Orangutan B apart from similarly-sized microcontroller boards from other manufacturers. Two on-board indicator LEDs, a trimmer potentiometer, a 20 MHz resonator, and reverse battery protection round out the basic hardware features of the Baby Orangutan. The removal of the larger Orangutan components also allows for a significantly improved manufacturing process that allows Pololu to offer the Baby Orangutan B at a very affordable price.
