Im going to be running a project shortly and id like to get some info on the BBarduino.
ill be looking to connect 12 servos and 1 IR sensor to the board.
The information i need to about the pin connections, and what pins i can use to connect the servos and sensor to? i believe pin 7 is the LED pin? are there any other pins that i cannot use?
Thanks in advance.
All 6x analog pins are broken out, as well as digital pins 2 to 13 (reserving 0 and 1 for serial communication). The 2 LEDs and push buttons are connected to pins 7, 8 and 9 (see manual, section 5 under “BotBoarduino Hardware Information”).

Can’t see any reason why you would not be able to connect all 12 servos to pins 2-> 13 and the IR to one of the analog pins. The servo library can use all of the digital pins.
Remove the necessary jumpers though, and swap the 5V / VS jumper for each set of four digital pins.
Should also note, that the Speaker is connected to Pin 5.
Note: This should work just as well as any Atmega 328 based Arduinos for 12 servos, which I believe is the maximum you can use the Servo library for. You just have to be careful on what else that you do with your program that either creates/process interrupts and which disables interrupts.
Good Luck

ok cool thanks.
willl be ordering as soon as the client requires the project.
Have you done anything with sound generation using the BotBoarduino speaker/buzzer yet? I’m just getting ready to see what I can do with it. Afterall, a robot without noises and blinking lights just shouldn’t be allowed!
