Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 Hardware Manual
2. Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560
The Fire Bird V robot is the 5
th
in the Fire Bird series of robots. First two versions of the robots
were designed for the Embedded Real-Time Systems Lab, Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, IIT Bombay. Theses platforms were made commercially available from the version
3 onwards. All the Fire Bird V series robots share the same main board and other accessories.
Different family of microcontrollers can be added by simply changing top microcontroller
adapter board. Fire Bird V supports ATMEGA2560 (AVR), P89V51RD2 (8051) and LPC2148
(ARM7) microcontroller adapter boards. This modularity in changing the microcontroller
adapter boards makes Fire Bird V robots very versatile. You can also add your own custom
designed microcontroller adapter board.
