Microcontroller PC board
The microcontroller board is an 8.5 x 5 inch 2 sided custom board procured from expresspcb.com. The board shown is a rev 0 board without the solder mask and silkscreen.
Schematics and board layout drawings are available below. Free software from expresspcb.com must be installed to view the drawings which are in a proprietary format. I also have a copy of the schematics in .bmp format which isn't really as good as looking at them with expresspcb.
You can order boards from expresspcb just by loading RCrev3.pcb into expresspcb and ordering them on-line under the layout menu item. OR, it is much less expensive to order one from imrobotics.com. or as a last resort, ask me if any spare boards are available Alex Brown. Spares will be a LOT less expensive than expresspcb's minimum order and the same as the cost at imrobotics.com.

NOTE:
You may find that some tests of the motors and
encoders will not until you have the microcontroller hooked up to your laptop
(or whatever) with all the Leaf software (or at least NavAndControl)
running. This downloads proper motor and encoder data from the .ini files
to the microcontroller. Ask on the mail list if you are having any
problems.
