Aistarter Controller 

3.1.1 

Overview 

AiStarter control board is designed based on Arduino Mega2560,    compatible with Arduino, 

not only integrate motor drive, geomagnetic sensor, light sensor, button module, LED module and 

so  on,  but  also  integrate  infrared  tracking  interface,  ultrasonic  sensor  interface,  USB,  Xbee, 

bluetooth, serial port and so on. The main control board of Aistarter, which is shown in Figure 3.1 

presets two servo signal interfaces for user expansion.
