I ordered the control board from Mike and Tom, and got it on Tuesday. I ordered some parts from Mcmaster-carr. I also bought 2 servos from Hobbytown. I was learning to use AutoCad to design the platform of my robot. The design of my robot has been changed. Because the PVB board I ordered from Mike and Tom has only 6 PWM headers, there is no way for me to control 12 servos as I planned. So I have to make major changes to my design to make the 6-legged robot be able to driven by only 6 servos.
