ArbotiX Commander v2.0 Kit

The ArbotiX Commander v2.0 is an Arduino compatible, open-source XBEE-wireless hand-held controller built specifically for controlling ArbotiX/NUKE powered walking robots (but it can be interfaced to virtually any microcontroller or PC). This gamepad style controller comes ready to be setup with the ArbotiX Robocontroller. The ArbotiX Commander v2.0 was meant to be hacked, modified, upgraded, and otherwise tinkered with, and uses a simple serial protocol to interface with other Xbee enabled devices.
