Description

This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with: (Not included, please get it separatedly)

Note: The AlphaBot2 does not come with 14500 Li-ion battery, we recommend get 14500 600mAh here.

It features rich common robot functions including:

  • Line tracking
  • Obstacle avoiding
  • Ultrasonic ranging
  • Bluetooth/infrared/WiFi remote control (Bluetooth and WiFi are Zero W specific),
  • Video monitoring, etc.

Thanks to the highly integrated modular design, it is fairly easy to assemble by a snap, no soldering, no wiring. After a few minutes spent on hardware assembling, you're almost there, the open source demo codes is ready to help you get started fast.

Features:

  • AlphaBot2 employs a 2-layer structure to provide excellent stability and compatibility.
    • AlphaBot2-Base, the lower base chassis:
    • 5-ch infrared sensor, analog output, combined with PID algorithm, stable line tracking
    • Onboard modules like line tracking, obstacle avoiding, needs no messy wiring
    • TB6612FNG dual H-bridge motor driver, compared with L298P, it's more efficient, more compact, and less heating
    • Micro gear motor, with metal gears, low noise, high accuracy
    • Onboard RGB LEDs, true color lighting, pretty cool
  • AlphaBot2-PiZero, the upper adapter board for controller:
    • LM2596 voltage regulator, provides the Pi with stable 5V power
    • TLC1543 AD acquisition chip, allows the Pi to use analog sensors
    • PCA9685 servo controller, make it more smoothly to rotate the pan head
    • CP2102 UART converter, easy for controlling the Pi via UART
    • USB HUB chip, more USB ports for devices like NIC
