Bottango Nova DocumentationBottango control boards are a great way to utilize the most powerful features of Bottango's software without needing to design and implement your own bespoke hardware. Bottango control boards are made to "just work" with Bottango's powerful animatronic and robotic software.
Export animations to a microSD card and playback animations on Bottango Nova without a connected computer. Although Bottango Nova usually doesn't directly control any servos or motors itself, it acts as a show controller, serving out animations to other connected Bottango control boards.
Three trigger buttons allow for triggering animations in standalone playback mode. The trigger buttons also have header pins to place custom buttons off board. Stop button on board as well.
Bottango control boards can create a low latency wireless access point, allowing easy and performant wireless streaming of animations between two or more control boards. Connect Bottango Nova to your computer, and you can set it up to serve out data from the Bottango application wirelessly to other control boards.
Bottango Nova is optimized to be the show controller of the Bottango control boards.
Bottango control boards can communicate with each other using wireless or wired RS485 communication options. All control boards contain functionality to allow them to work together.
Bottango Nova is designed to be the control board containing your show, and serving it out standalone to other connected control boards.
Bottango Nova runs on open source firmware. You can change how Bottango Nova works at the code level and upload your own custom firmware to the board.
But no code is needed, you can use all these features out of the box without writing your own code.
Bottango Nova has 8 GPIO header pins. Use the pins and open source firmware to add custom sensors, buttons, etc. to your show controller logic. Or you could use the pins to control custom effectors not supported out of the box with Bottango control boards currently.
Bottango Nova also has a Qwiic connector, for easy addition of Qwiic compatible sensors, peripherals, etc.
