The Mini RoboMind is an ideal platform for beginner, intermediate or advanced amateur robotics. The Mini RoboMind is specifically designed for building robots of every kind. The Mini RoboMind is small enough for mini sumo and powerful enough for advanced algorithm development.
The Mini RoboMind contains a MC68332 microprocessor, 512K of Flash, and 32K or 512K of RAM and measures 2.95 inches square. The Mini RoboMind is easily programmed.

and schematic.
Notice the A/D, TPU, Port E and Port F
header across the top of the image, the
LCD port on the right of the image and
the 4 SPI ports on the left
bottom. The Flash and A/D chips
are mounted on the left under the socket
for the RAM. The TTL serial port,
BDM port and power connector are left to
right across the bottom. All parts
are mounted on the top side of the
board. The SPI ports each include
separate power and ground pins as well
as two additional pins from Port F (IRQ
Port). The A/D, TPU, Port E and
Port F header provides two additional
rows of pins for power and ground so
that for every pair of pins, there are
two power and ground pins. This
arrangement is ideal for connecting
sensors and drivers. The LCD port
provides two additional chip select pins
which allows the LCD port to double as a
memory mapped device port.
