Baby O Code

[SamO]

Can someone please put a link up to the code used to program the Pololu Baby O ESC?
I've searched through the forum on their website but can't find it

Cheers

Sample code is on the 3PI page here http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J37/4

I wrote my own code using the pulsin function rather than the interrupts in the code above, so I could read in a 3rd channel for a weapon servo.

Hey, I was wondering if there was anywhere the Baby O and Programmer combo was available in the UK?

[Andrew_Hibberd]

All the pololu suppliers in the UK and EU are linked on the pololu web site:

Ah, Cheers for that

Was wondering though, has anyone ever given one of these a run as an antweight controller. I can see them being similar to the Baby-o due to them both using the ATmega328 and I could break 3 of them for the price of breaking 1 baby-o.

Thoughts?

As far as I can see the ebay one does not have motor drive capability.

Peter's right, that's just a clone of the Arduino Pro Mini. The Arduino is simply an ATMega328, crystal oscillator and reset switch. It looks like this one can work off a 12V supply too.
The Baby O includes a motor driver IC which can drive a pair of gear motors.
Note: The Baby O really doesn't like more than 8V and whilst they seem to be OK in short battles I did have one in Wheely Little Cheese which didn't quite pass the "all day at MakerFaire" test.

Ok, makes sense; I'll get myself a Baby-O.

The Baby O really doesn't like more than 8V

That's a bit worrying, the spec on the pololu website says it takes 5-13.5V
I'll go easy on it
