This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with the BBC micro:bit (not included). It features rich common robot functions including line tracking, obstacle avoiding, ultrasonic ranging, Bluetooth/2.4G remote control, 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, 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 for micro:bit, the upper adapter board for controller:
micro:bit dedicated connector, for easily connecting with the micro:bit
MP1584 voltage regulator, provides stable 5V output
RT9193-33 voltage regulator, provides stable 3.3V voltage to the micro:bit
TLC1543 AD acquisition chip, allows the micro:bit to use analog sensors
