Hi,
I want to get started in building a simple robot, mainly to help get my kids interested in science, programming etc. Also because it is kind of a childhood dream of my own :)
I am a programmer, with a somewhat rusty background in electronics. I think I can find the bits to do the mechanics, but I don't know what to use for the controller.
Ideally I would like a little board with built in IO, and programable in some reasonable language via serial (or USB?).
Any recomendations?
Dom
