The hex bug uses an ST1155A dual motor controller on-board. The part I'm not sure about is the dc motor controller. I've settled on the HC-SR04 sonar sensor as it was recommended in a forum post, so I think I have that well in hand. I'd like to hack the hex bug into an obstacle avoiding autonomous robot (the light on my kids face when I told them we were going to "free" the robot was priceless!). After reading the docs, wiki, and forums, I think I can do this, but I would like a little guidance. I thought as an introduction a hex bug spider hack might not be too hard for me and it would really impress my kids as well. I love the idea of pythonic robotics and I just received my board a few days ago. I'm an electronics neophyte looking for an introduction with a fairly simple robotics project for me and my kids.
