8. Lynxmotion Robot Chassis  4 7.2V motor chassis  Room inside for additional electronics  Can carry 5lb load  Able to stack decks on top  Low or high clearance Micro-Motor Controller Decoder 1 for each motor

9. Micro Dual Serial Motor Controller  Contains 2 parallel H- bridges  They allow for bi-directional control of 2 motors  127 different speeds  Maximum current 2A  PWM frequency of 750Hz  Input is made with 4 bytes of info  Start byte is most significant bit 4 bytes input to SCI

10. …Input to Serial Control Input oInput of 4 bytes o non-inverted logic o 8 bits at a time, no start bit, 1 stop bit o MSB read first and last bit must be clear o To configure: need to send 3 byte packet Bit 6: = # of motors, so in our case, =1 Bits 0-5: motor #, in our case, 1-4 After configurations set: programming protocol: 4 bytes Bit 0: direction (1 forward, 0 backward) Bits 1-6: motor number Bit 7: always 0 Remaining: 0x00 turns off motor 0x7F turns fully on f0 in reverse brakes
