Arbotix-Pro
The Arbotix-Pro is another ROS supported controller based on the STM32F103 Cortex M3 32-bit ARM microprocessor. It has 16 GPIO pins for peripheral operations and communication buses such as TTL or I2C. It also has an Accelerometer/Gyroscope sensor embedded on the board, along with a single USB, UART, and interface support for XBee communication. This board is built toward using Dynamixel Robot actuators and supports both TTL or RS-485 communication, hence it's able to control AX, MX, and Dynamixel-PRO actuators. Power to the actuators could be provided independently through a dedicated 60 amp MOSFET, allowing power saving options while operational or in case of shutdown or error.
