Renegade is a versatile Wi-Fi operated robot controller featuring 32 fully customizable Input/Output channels. These can be set up and used as general purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs), RC Servo motor controls, Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Inputs, or to decode quadrature encoders. Renegade can perform all of these functions while at the same time operating two high current DC motors.
Renegade is easy to setup and use. You can directly connect to Renegade through your wireless network or send customized control commands (UDP) from your phone, laptop, or any other Wi-Fi enabled device. You can communicate with your Renegade through simple, intuitive commands in a host of programming platforms including, but not limited to: C, C++, C#, PYTHON, and MATLAB.
The Renegade has been designed around the power of the newest line of dsPIC microcontrollers providing unprecedented processing power and application flexibility. Earlier versions of Renegade have been successfully used in projects ranging from remarkably speedy RC cars, to motor scooters, to cheese-chopping toaster bots. This newer, stronger version will be able to handle so much more! With the dramatically increased processing power, the flexibility of 32 servos, and two DC motors the possibilities are limited only to your ambition and imagination.
