PRODUCT DETAILS

This kit comes with controller board UNO PLUS, AlphaBot robotic platform (line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, IR control), and ultrasonic sensor.

While utilizing UNO PLUS as controller board, this kit is based on the Arduino software/hardware open source platform. Combined with the modular design, it's an ideal platform to get started with Arduino robot.

UNO PLUS Features

UNO PLUS is a development board compatible with the Arduino UNO R3, an improved & enhanced alternative solution for Arduino UNO R3.

UNO PLUS Vs UNO R3:

Power output headerYesNone

Providing 5V/3.3V power output OR common-grounding with other boards

3.3V power output800mA Max150mA MaxUNO PLUS features higher driving capability
OscillatorCrystal oscillatorCeramic resonatorCrystal oscillator is suit for applications where accurate clock reference is required
ADC channel86CFG used as ADC6 by configuration, and ADC7 from the Reserved PIN
Connecting with prototype breadboardSupportedNot supportedSolder pads is provided for DIY interfaces to connecting with prototype breadboard
USB driverCompatible with all main systemsDoesn't compatible with WIN7/WIN8 Express EditionDriver will never failed to install thanks to the onboard FT232
Firmware fixingSupportedNot supportedFirmware can be fixed by using the onboard FT232, no extra programmer is needed

AlphaBot Features

  • Raspberry Pi/Arduino interfaces, works with either one separately, or both

  • Arduino extend header, supports Arduino shields

  • Modular design, plug-and-play modules like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, etc. eliminating the trouble of connecting mess wires.

  • LM298P motor driver with diode protection circuit, more safety

  • LM2596 voltage regular, provides stable 5V power to the Raspberry Pi/Arduino

  • TLC1543 AD acquisition chip, allows the Pi to use analog sensors
