The RoBoard Gains an LCD, Robots Show Their True Colours

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

The RoBoard has been controlling robots for some time now. It is a single board computer featuring a Vortex86DX, a 32bit x86 CPU running at 1 GHz with 256MB DRAM, lots of PWM IO for controlling servos, and more.

A recurring feature that was always asked was to have a small native display for the RoBoard in order to have an easy and convenient  way to interact with the robot without requiring a full sized computer screen.  Now every robotic wish has been fulfilled since RobotShop now carries the 8.9″ LCD Panel for RoBoard.
