AlphaBot2 robot building kit for Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W (no Pi)

Note: Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W is NOT included.

This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W (not included). It features rich common robot functions including line tracking, obstacle avoiding, ultrasonic ranging, Bluetooth/infrared/Wi-Fi remote control (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 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 assembled, you're almost there, our open source demo codes will ready to help you get started fast.

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-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
