<div class="gmail_quote">The IODreamkit can drive small motors- here more details:<br><br>The IODreamkit is for the student/hobbyist/engineer who wants to use their PC to experiment with digital and analog signals. It comes with "breadboard style headers" to let you quickly prototype things. Just insert capacitors/resistors/wires to build what you want- this is how I built my first dancebot. It needs a 9v power supply and a USB connection to the PC and provides:<br>
- fast analog input: 100Msps with 8 bit resolution<br>- 8 additional channels of 12 bit resolution input at up to 100ksps<br>- fast analog output: 20Msps arbitrary waveform generation with 5 bit resolution<br>- 2 additional channels of delta sigma waveform generation<br>
- 8 digital channels which can sink up to 500ma to drive small motors<br>- 8 channels of buffered digital IO<br>- all powered by the Parallax Propeller- a 32 bit processor with 8 cores running at 100MHz<br><br>The headers provide ground, +5, +3 and are designed to interface with hobby servos, VEX sensors, and other robotic components.<br>
<br>I've partnered with Brian from "uController.com" to build this- check his website for other great products.<br>See images here: <a href="http://mydancebot.com/dreamkit">http://mydancebot.com/dreamkit</a><br>

<div>> Hi!<br>> I'm back in New Zealand after a fun-filled
and successful 5 weeks in<br>> California. I signed a book deal
with McGraw Hill, made good progress on<br>> the PropScope which will be
distributed in retail stores (Radio Shack,<br>> Fry's, Dick Smith...),
and had many meetings/presentations, including a<br>> presentation to the
HomeBrew Robotic Club in Silicon Valley and a tech<br>> talk<br>> at
