Note: Raspberry Pi is NOT included.
Overview
This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (not included). It features rich common robot functions including line tracking, obstacle avoiding, Bluetooth/infrared/WiFi remote control, 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 assembing, you're almost there, our open source demo codes is ready to help you get started fast.
AlphaBot2 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
- N20 micro gear motor, with metal gears, low noise, high accuracy
- Onboard RGB LEDs, true color lighting, pretty cool
AlphaBot2-Pi, 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
