I have several of the BotBoarduino Jr. board prototypes here. I’ve given one to miked and one to kurte for thorough testing. As we develop the support documentation we will post the progress here. This is a true arduino compatible board that has the shield connectors, but uses our 3" x 2.3" footprint. The image shows normal header posts, but the production run will have them at a 90 degree angle so full size shields will work.
Sounds great, should be fun testing!

I agree,
Saves having to tool my chassis for either BBII or Arduino UNO.
Very nice drop-in solution!
Any pricing or availability?

This little board is going to be great to use! How soon can we get them??

I think we need to make a few minor tweaks before production. I think after a a week or so of testing we will go to production. That should take only 2-3 weeks. So a little over a month if everything goes well. I know, I’m an optimist.
Amazing! I think this little board is going to replace my regular Arduino for tinkering. I think I will keep W.A.L.T.E.R. on the shelf for awhile and build a much smaller robot with this as controller. Something small to play with my cat… 8)

Yes…!
I have a bunch of “Programmer” people around me. Se it’s easier for me when i can ask code to them… and Arduino is easy for them.
GoGo…!
Just for the fun of it I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek at the updated phoenix code running on the BotBoarduino JR (Atmega 328) on my CHR-3 using a SSC-32 and a PS2 remote.
Please pardon that video is a simple unedited run of the robot. It shows the robot walking using the current set of gaits, a little Rotation/translation and then a little at the end where I tried turning on Balance mode…

Hi Kurt,
Looks like it passes qualification tests!
Nice job.
Alan KM6VV
Looks beautiful! 8)
Kurte,Jim,
Looking forward to this new board. Will this use the aduino programing language?
what would you recommend to start with, to learn to work with it. Hope this makes sense
Yes, it uses the standard Arduino environment to program it. You choose the Arduino Demulove… 328 selection.
Kurt
That’s the Arduino UNO (uses same chip), not the board that Jim will be selling.
But the same Arduino IDE can be used to program it. Select “Arduino Demulove… 328” as Kurt said.
Alan KM6VV
This I understood, what I dont understand is Arduino Demulove. Is this the same as Arduino Duemilanove.
I just want something I can pound on to learn while await for the release of JIM’s card.
The second revision prototype boards are finished and I will pick them up tomorrow for testing. If they test out fine we will send out for production and I should have boards in 4 - 6 weeks. This is exciting!
Note: I misspelled the name… I meant Duemilanove. The new Lynxmotion boards should function almost the same. The only differences is that there is some additional functionality on the board like speaker, LEDS, PS2 pull-up, 3 pin servo headers with power bus, that allows you to choose either +5v or VS on groups of 4 pins… The UNO is also very similar (Atmega328) as well, the differences are the replaced the FTDI USB chip/support components with another Atmega processor to do the USB stuff…
Yes, it sounds great that the 2nd set of prototype boards is done! 
Kurt
Thanks for the Information.
Have you determined a price? I don’t think I read one.
Alan KM6VV
Maybe in the $35.00 ballpark.
