AIRcable USB to Serial Bluetooth Adapter Kit

Un-tether your robot with AIRcable Bluetooth serial cable replacement adapters.

This kit includes everything you need to eliminate the bother of connecting a serial cable between your IntelliBrain-Bot educational robot and PC when programming or debugging. It also allows your robot to send data or debug information to your PC while it is operating.

These adapters use Bluetooth wireless technology to form a serial connection between a USB port on your PC and the serial port on your IntelliBrain-Bot educational robot.

We highly recommend this kit if you intend to use your robot in conjuction with Microsoft Robotics Studio or Pyro.

Includes:

  • AIRcable USB
  • AIRcable Mini OS
  • CDROM including documentation and drivers

For technical specifications and support visit the AIRcable website.

$139 each

FTDI US232B USB to Serial Adapter

This adapter will allow you to use your IntelliBrain robotics controller with a PC which does not have a built-in serial port.

Includes:

  • US232R-10 USB to Serial Adapter
  • CDROM including documentation and drivers

$39 each

IntelliBrain 2 Robotics Contoller

This is a great choice if you are designing your own robot and want a flexible robotics controller you can program using Java and our extensive RoboJDE robotics class library.

$265 each

Parallax Continuous Rotation Servo

Continuous rotation servos can be used instead of DC motors to drive a mobile robot. They are small, inexpensive and easy to control. The IntelliBrain controller main board supports two servos. With the expansion board your robot can include up to eight servos.

Note: Two of these servos are included in the IntelliBrain-Bot kits.

$13 each

6' Serial Cable

Connect the IntelliBrain controller to a COM port on you PC using this cable so you can develop, download and debug you robotics software using the RoboJDE Java-enabled robotics software development environment.

This cable attaches to a standard DB9 serial port connector on your PC. If you have a computer that does not have a serial port you may also need to purchase a USB to serial adapter cable, such as the IOGear GUC232A.

Note: This cable is included in IntelliBrain-Bot kits.

$7 each

RoboJDE Software and Documentation CDROM

This is the software and document CDROM included with IntelliBrain-Bot educational robot and IntelliBrain 2 robotics controller orders. Everything on the CDROM is downloadable from this web site, but if you would prefer to have the software and documentation on CDROM, order this item.
