NXP&#39;s Tower Mechatronics Board&nbsp;TWR-MECH that can be demonstrated within NXP Mechatronics Robot is an easy-to-use mechatronics development and demonstration platform. The Tower System Mechatronic Board has a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and a 12-channel touch sensor.&nbsp; It is programmable in C/C using CodeWarrior and an on-board OSBDM flash programming tool.&nbsp; For fast prototyping or for individuals without C/C experience, the Tower System Mechatronics Board is supported by Stick OS.</p> <p>The NXP&#39;s Tower Mechatronics Board TWR-MECH combines 32-bit computing, sensors, and actuator control into a single stand-alone board with an on-board battery supply. The Tower Mechatronics Board has a 32-bit ColdFire microcontroller (MCF52259) with 64K of RAM, 512K of flash, and supports the full range of NXP Xtrinsic sensors via plug-in daughter boards. The board can directly control up to eight actuators (PWM controlled RC servos) via the eight industry standard 3-pin connectors.</p> <p>In addition to stand-alone operation, the Tower Mechatronic Board can be plugged&nbsp; into the NXP Tower System. When plugged into the Tower System the Tower Mechatronic Board becomes a controller module, capable of interfacing with all peripheral modules available in the Tower System family to expand its capabilities.</p> <p>NXP&rsquo;s robot is a sensor development kit in the form of a four degrees of freedom (DOF) bipedal walking robot, controlled by the Tower Mechatronic Board.
