Sensors and 32-bit Microcontrollers

Freescale Tower System

Tower mechatronics board and robot

Overview

The Tower Mechatronics Board combines

32-bit computing, sensors, and actuator

control into a single stand-alone board with

an on-board battery supply. The Tower

Mechatronics Board has a 32-bit ColdFire

microcontroller with 64K of RAM, 512K of

flash, and supports the full range of Freescale

Xtrinsic sensors via plug-in daughter boards.

The board can directly control up to eight

actuators (PWM controlled RC servos) via the

eight industry standard 3-pin connectors.

In addition to stand-alone operation, the

Tower Mechatronic Board can be plugged

into the Tower System. When plugged into

the Tower System the Tower Mechatronic

Board becomes a controller module, capable

of interfacing with all peripheral modules

available in the Tower System family to

expand its capabilities.

Freescale’s robot is a sensor development

kit in the form of a four degrees of freedom

(DOF) bipedal walking robot, controlled by the

Tower Mechatronic Board. Included are simple

development tools that will help you learn

to write software for sensors, while making

a robot walk and respond to touch, motion,

vibration, tilt, and other external stimuli.
