Hi, I am new to the robot thing so I oredered a starter kit. The kit is an unmanned vehicle that follows a line. It does this by using IR. The problem is the kit did not come with a controller and I do not know which one to use. On the box they suggest the 'Micro Magician' but I can't find that spesific controller any where. The car uses IR and has 2 motors, one for steering and one for propelling the car forward.
So my question is which controller(s) would work for my situation. And also what else is needed with the controller to complete my project. I have nothing else just the parts they gave me in the box so I think , for example, I will need a programming wire.
You have a robot kit, fine. We know nothing about it so far, so show us with a link to the site from which you purchased it. A picture is worth more than a thousand words in this case.

The Micro Magician is a board supplied by the same vendor as your link. The easiest option for you would be to buy one of these. If you've got any info on the kit, such as a datasheet, then share it here and no doubt someone will be able to help with using an alternative controller.
