Brilliance

About the project

Brilliance is a 4WD (4-Wheel Drive) robot development platform powered by an ATmega 644P microcontroller, mounted on a custom AVR development board. The development board can also be used independently for embedded applications, including high-speed wireless communication (SPI, I2C, UART), human-computer interaction, sensor integration, motor control, and more.

What's so special?

The development board is fully compatible with the open source prototyping platform Arduino. You can use most of the popular Atmel's microcontrollers* with Arduino bootloader burned on it. Additionally, you can both stack any Arduino shield on it and use this board as a shield on top of an existing Arduino stack by soldering male/female header pins on the appropriate sides.

The Board :

It was built using EasyEDA. Unfortunately, I lost all the design files of this board. long story(thanks to Google)
