A kit of parts for making a robot and experimenting with the Brainbox AVR educational board is available in the Elektor Store. Also suitable for hobby environments, the Brainbox AVR board is 100% compatible with Arduino, but it's more than a regular Leonardo. Thanks to the rugged screw connections, the 500mA outputs, the four DC servo outputs and the many power supply options, this enhanced platform is immediately useful, perfect for educational and DIY purposes.
