I’ve started work on a new robot controller based on the Netburner MOD5213. I created a website for the project with code and other resources. There is also a blog updated more frequently with issues, etc.
Things are going really well so far, with servos, motor control and GPS working fully in the uC/OS RTOS. I welcome any comments or suggestions anyone has, especially related to the daughter card design.

I will be following your progress on this very closely, even though my next development effort will be with PICs and/or AVR MCUs. I want to get back into using ‘C’ and learn more about C++ as they apply to microcontrollers. I love the idea of a controller board that uses the MOD5213 if it can be made inexpensively as a stand alone sort of super bot board similar in design to the Mini Atom Bot board for the BS2 and Atom modules with the nice 3 pin headers for servos and sensors, and perhaps stacking connectors for add-on modules.
Right now, I am experimenting with the Renesas H8/36077 and H8SX/1664, since I got free starter kits for them. The H8SX kit board has a lot of unstuffed headers I will have to get connectors for if I decide to do serious robotics development with it.
