extensive line of peripheral modules (Pmods), countless designs can be implemented, from basic
experiments through more advanced systems.
Included parts:
•
PmodLS1
•
(2) PmodHB5 2A H-bridge motor amplifiers with attachment clips
•
Cerebot MX4cK or Cerebot 32MX4
•
(4) IRROSC
•

Functional Description
The rugged steel components have holes on ½-inch centers allowing Digilent circuit boards and other
vendors’ products to be easily attached.
The following tools are recommended for robot assembly:
• regular and small Phillips head screwdrivers
• adjustable wrench
• pliers
• wire stripper
• scissors
Note: The Cerebot MX4cK uses the same ports and jumper positions for this project as the Cerebot
32MX4. You may safely follow all of the pictures while assembling your kit.
