This device is a programmer for AVR-based controllers, such as our ArbotiX Robocontroller and the 3pi robot. The programmer emulates an AVRISP v2 on a virtual serial port, making it compatible with standard AVR programming software. Two additional features help with building and debugging projects: a TTL-level serial port for general-purpose communication and a SLO-scope for monitoring signals and voltage levels. The Pololu USB AVR Programmer is an extremely compact, low-cost in-system...

The 6 Port AX/MX Power Hub is a must have accessory for any DYNAMIXEL user. This little board is a Bioloid 6 Port Hub and a SMPS adaptor all in one!

We searched high and low to find an affordable yet high quality DC motor for robotics, and a solid start to our Robot Motors section. After a lot of trial and error, testing dozens of motors, we have found what we believe to be a solid choice for small-medium sized robots weighing 2-5 lbs. The RPM make them an ideal choice for 3-4" wheels, and with an integrated encoder you can calculate odometry data to make your robots navigate the real world. This motor includes a 6-pin 2.0mm pitch PH JST...
