Mamba Dual-Core Computer

Dual Core 2.26 GHz - 2-8 GB RAM - 6 X USB2.0 - Ethernet
PC/104+, eUSB, mini-PCI - Solid State Drive - Industrial Quality

Our new dual-core computer could be dangerous in the wrong hands. It's nearly 3x faster, has gigabit Ethernet, more RAM expansion and L2 cache and still draws less power than our previous onboard computer. 

The Mamba EBX-37 is an industrial grade EBX form factor PC. 

  • CPU: dual-core 2.26 GHz 32-bit Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
  • Ethernet: dual 10/100/1000 ports 
  • USB: six USB 2.0 ports with standard connectors
  • Serial: four RS-232 serial ports (two of which are RS-422 capable)
  • Generic digital I/O: 32 with SPI interface
  • Generic analog I/O: 8 inputs, 4 outputs with SPI interface
  • Memory: maximum 8GB of DDR3 RAM may be added via two SO-DIMM slots (one 2GB module is included)
  • Onboard video: 512 MB video RAM with VGA and dual LVDS display output (VGA port provided)
  • Onboard audio: HD audio
  • Disk: 40GB solid state SATA (computer supports two SATA devices)
  • OS Preinstalled and configured: Linux or Windows XP Embedded

Additional devices may be added via PC/104+ PCI, mini-PCI, SPX and eUSB expandability.

The Mamba is an industrial computer designed for continuous, always-on reliable use in more challenging environmental conditions than most consumer computers and laptops are designed for. The standard version (Pioneer, Peoplebot, Seekur Jr.) is rated for an operating temperature of 0° C to 60° C (32° F to 140° F). The computer is MIL-STD-202G rated for vibration and shock.

A dual 1.2 GHz extended temperature version (-40° C to 85° C / -40° F to 185° F) is available as the standard computer for Seekur, or a special order on Seekur Jr. or other robots.

The computer comes with a power supply and SATA 40GB solid state storage device (SSD).  (The extended-temperature version uses an extended-temperature 16GB SSD instead.)  Linux (Debian 5 with upgraded kernel) or Windows XP Embedded is installed along with all drivers and software packages ready to use immediately.  The computer is fully installed and tested in the robot before shipping.
