TekPet Development Board (tekpet.0)

Used 20xx-current

Overview

The tekpet microcontroller board is a powerful programmable hardware device. It come preassembled and can be programmed directly by any computer with a USB port. The tekpet board uses the AT90USB 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture.

Features

  • Low cost per kit.
  • High-performance, Low-power AVRŽ 8-bit Microcontroller.
  • Dedicated spots for analog servos.
  • Has an embedded two channel motor controller.
  • Libraries are available to read sensors and control motors by connecting the tekpet board to a computer using JAVA. (Great for adding active learning to a CS course with JAVA).
