GoGo board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GoGo board is a simple and very low-cost computer Input/Output interface device. Developed by Arnan (Roger) Sipitakiat at the MIT Media Lab, the GoGo board is useful for projects that need a simple interface between the computer and sensors (e.g. contact activated switches, light sensors or LDRs, and temperature sensors) and simple actuators (e.g. electric motors, relays, light bulbs and LEDs).
Possible applications include interactive art, sculptures, storytelling projects, scientific experiments, game design, environmental sensing, and home automation. There are software libraries available for many programming languages, but in general any language that has access to the serial port can utilize the GoGo board. This description is given by the GoGo board website.
The GoGo board uses a PIC16F877 microcontroller by Microchip Technology. It can control four motors or servos at one time and accept up to eight digital or analog inputs. This makes it ideal to use the GoGo board for mobile robots as well. Due to this fact the boards designer has made its input ports compatible with the MIT Handy Board.
