Hi,
I'm looking at controlling about 14-16 different outputs, 2 DC motors, 12 Infra Red scanners and 1 Ultrasound component on a robot. I assumed I would have to build a circuit board from scratch, but I have discovered you can implement a MC instead.
But, are there such pieces of hardware that allow me to hook up these amount of outputs? I've seen 8 I/O boards? But I obviously need more. So are there such components out there which consist of more ports, or is this a case of using more than 1 board.
http://www.active-robots.com/products/controllr/solarbotics-microcontroller.shtml First one, will something like this be a suitable candidate?
Be gentle, this is my first experience with electronics :D
