The Axon II was developed for robots that go beyond the basics.
With the Axon II, you will no longer need to worry about not having
enough I/O as it has 58 for you to use. You will never be wanting
of UART, as there are 3 directly available, with a 4th used for a
USB connection directly to your PC. A total of 16 ADC ports for all
of your sensors. A bootloader is pre-installed so no hardware
programmer is needed. Lastly, extensive source code and tutorials
have been developed to make it easy enough for a beginner yet still
powerful enough for an expert. More specifically, the Axon II is
the best microcontroller on the market for multi-limbed robots such
as bipeds, spiders, and robot arms. Unlike many other robot
microcontrollers on the market, no additional messy breadboard
wiring or expensive shields are required to make your robot. It's
100% plug-n-play - no external power buses required to plug in
servos or sensors, literally taking minutes to set up.
The Axon II uses the powerful ATmega640 as its processor, which has
typically 4x more memory than other controllers on the market (see
specifications below).
Lastly, at 34 grams (a typical 9V battery weighs 40g), the Axon II
is the smallest and lightest of any other comparable full-featured
microcontroller on the market.
