Best "Brain" module?

I'm currently working on a java API for the robotica servo control board, and an ITX board from

I think at the end of the day it depends if you are working with simple proximity detectors and on/off states, or if you want to do something requiring heavy image analysis that sits on something the size of a tea trolley :-)

yep, itx boards look very good and they reckon only 10w for the eden, 12v supply, so should be able to detether from the mains at least for shortish periods of time... unless you have a tea trolley chassis for your batteries, in which case could probably even make an (semi) autonomous itx/controller combi...

be interesting to play with autodocking into the recharge unit....

Some guy named Mike.K has a page about this ;-)

Ayup. Actually the one I'm using has 18x18 for some strange reason. I figure I can attach 8 of them to a single JStamp.

Ayup, I've read it. However Agilent's datasheets are quite good.

There are boards to interface with a compact flash or sd/mmc card through rs232. These little cards give extra external memory which could be used for long term storage. For example a detailed map of the house.

This memory however is available to the PIC as real ram memory and i believe it cannot be used for storing a program either.

But if you're looking for memory for storing events (dataloggers) this might be interesting.
