Make Controller Kit

Make Controller Kit

Unit Price: $109.00


 

The Make Controller Kit is a fully programmable,open source hardware platform for projects requiring high performance control/feedback, connectivity, and ease of use. It can also be used as an interface to a variety of desktop environments like Max/MSP, Flash, and Processing, Java, Python, Ruby - anything that supports OSC.

Features

  

The Make Controller is a full-featured microcontroller platform.  It features:

  • 8 analog inputs - 10-bit inputs read voltages from 0-3.3V while protecting the controller from higher voltages.
  • 8 high current digitial outputs - can be configured to drive 8 individual outputs, 4 DC motors, 2 stepper motors, or any combination.
  • 4 standard servo controllers - easily provide external power for driving large loads.
  • 8 position DIP switch - for manual configuration.
  • USB and Ethernet interfaces - can be used simultaneously.
  • CAN interface - for networking several boards together.
  • JTAG port - for on-chip debugging.
 The Make Controller communicates with the outside world via OSC (Open Sound Control), which means it can interface easily with many desktop programming environments that also support OSC:
and any other environment that supports OSC.

 

The Make Controller KitFlexible Design

The Make Controller Kit consists of two parts, the Controller Board, and the Application Board.  The Controller Board includes the microcontroller itself, along with its essential components.  It physically plugs into the Application Board, which provides a robust interface between the delicate Controller and the devices that you connect to it.  Feel free, of course, to create your own board to use the Controller with.
