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.

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
IB

If you post html or mime encodings in usenet they will usually not
be read or be completely suppressed by the better ISPs. Use pure

Our ER25 PICmicro WLAN board is used for robotics control, and the
underlying technology has been incorporated into a standalone motor
control board, see www.roboticsgroup.com

Thanks for you advice. It seems like a viable solution, but there are
several limitations
1) How is it is to interface PDA to a DC motor + encoder
2) Price. We need to build several dozens and they need to be as small
possible.

One option would be to use cheap WiFi PDA and
use it to drive your control your robots.
