# Welcome to Dark Water
|
||
|
||
This guide will help you get your hardware set up, connected, and working quickly and easily.
|
||
|
||
So, let's get going - follow the links for your board below
|
||
|
||
## The 640 board
|
||
|
||
The 640 (Six for Zero) board is a DC and Stepper motor control board capable of powering 6 independent DC motors (from 2 – 11v) or 3 stepper motors.

||
- [Programming in Python](/640.html#programming-the-640-python) the Python API and how to use it
|
||
- [Programming in C++](/640.html#programming-the-640-c) controlling the board in C++
|
||
- [Set up RC Input]() reading input from your RC receiver
|
||
- [Expanding]() adding extra expansion boards

||
|
||
## The ESCAPE board
|
||
|
||
The ESCAPE (ESC-cape) board was designed to provide a method of using brushless motors rather than the DC motors.

|
||
## The SOAR board
|
||
|
||
The SOAR board is a holder for advanced sensors. It is ideal for use with different robot control boards, or if you have a single sensor expansion board you want to switch between robots.
