DAGU - Magician Arduino Robot Controller with 2x 1.5A Motor Controller and Servo Support

The Magician Robot Controller is a versatile and flexible Robot controller designed for use with Wheeled Robots and Servo applications.

The board is designed to allow easy mixing and matching DC motors (2 channels), Servos and other peripherals: in addition to the Dual Channel DC Motor Controller (up to 1.5A), 8 of the Digital pins are broken out to 3pin servo connectors allowing direct connection of Standard PWM servos.
Servos can be powered from the onboard 5V regulator or directly from battery.

This version is specifically manufactured to RoboSavvy specifications to include a number of improvements: 1.5Amp transistors and ATMEGA328 with Arduino bootloader.

  
Controller features:

• ATmega328 processor with 16MHz ceramic resonator
• USB interface and ISP socket for easy programming. Often missing on cheaper boards.
• Dual "H" bridge (up to 1.5Amps)  for driving small DC motors with simple control logic. Can be disconnected by onboard jumpers.
• 8x servo outputs with power selectable between +5V regulated or battery direct.
• 6x Analogue inputs with +5V and Gnd connections to power sensors.
   
• All I/O pins except D0 and D1 have male and female headers for easy connection.
• LDO +5V regulator with a maximum current rating of 1.5A with additional heatsink.
   
• Power switch and 3A reverse polarity protection diode to prevent accidental damage.
• Motor and power connections via quality screw terminals.
• Comes pre-tested and pre-loaded with the Arduino IDE.
• Input voltage 6V - 9V. Ideal for most small robots.

Files and Documentation:

• Magician Controller Manual
  Important note: the Manual refers to the original (stock) Magician version and mentions the original (lower) specs: ATMEGA8 and 0.8Amp transistors.
  The Magician controllers supplied by RoboSavvy have improved specs: they carry an ATMEGA328 and 1.5Amp transistors. Therefore, where you read ATMEGA8 you should read ATMEGA328 and where you read 0.8A for maximum stall current, you should read 1.5A.
   
• USB Drivers for Virtual COMM Port
  USB to Serial is provided by a Silicon labs chip and need separate download of Drivers prior to connecting the controller to the computer.
