Hi all

As a student project/research adventure we are planning to build several small robots that will be coordinated by a main brain via wireless connection.

At this point we seek a suitable microcontroller to drive a simple pair of DC motors with the possibility to hook up to a wireless connection.

Could the experts from this form suggest a suitable development (embedded) board or a suitable microcontroller?

Any hints would be gratefully accepted,

Thanks

If ALL you want to do is drive a couple of motors wirelessly, then no microcontroller is necessary. Use the RF transceiver chips used in RC toy applications (for example). Realtek used to sell these, not sure if they still do.
