Marvelmind Grumbler robot: main interfaces

The Marvelmind Grumbler robot has several I/O: for robot-PC communication, for debugging and for expansion:
- Obviously, In-System Programming (ISP) for flashing
- JTAG interface for step-by-step debugging - very powerful tool. One can freeze the processor and read the real inputs from the processor's pins
- RS232-1 and RS232-2 - these two are present, They do not have a standard connector due to lack of space, but the circuitry is there and the USART can be used. Adaptor to a standard DB9 RS232 connector is an option.
- Two-wire Serial Interface to connect to expansion processor boards, ADCs, DACs, etc
- Pins for external control (motor, relay, etc), ADC, expansion of IR emitters and receivers, external interrupts
