Pololu m3pi Robot with mbed Socket

The Pololu m3pi robot consists of a 3pi robot base with a fully assembled m3pi expansion board as its second level. This expansion board enables the use of a powerful 32-bit mbed development board as the robot’s high-level controller, which offers significantly more processing power and free I/O lines than the 3pi’s built-in 8-bit AVR microcontroller. There are also sockets for Wixel and XBee wireless serial modules as well as prototyping space for additional sensors and electronics. Overview The m3pi robot is a fully-assembled, upgraded version of our popular 3pi robot. It consists of a 3pi robot base connected to an assembled m3pi expansion board that simplifies augmenting your robot’s capabilities with an mbed development board (or other microcontroller boards), wireless modules, and sensors. Since the m3pi robot is an expansion of the 3pi robot, it also has all the features of the 3pi robot: Max speed of around 100 cm/second Regulated motor voltage (performance is unaffected by ba
