Mini DFRobotShop Rover Kit (Arduino Uno)
Description Small, inexpensive tracked platform kit Frame made out of laser-cut Lexan parts Comes with the DFRobotShop Rover Mobile Robot Shield Includes Arduino Uno microcontroller module with USB connection Please verify the polarity of the connector before using this battery as it may differ from the image The Mini DFRobotShop Rover Kit (Arduino Uno) is a small, inexpensive tracked platform which provides you with the basic tools needed to experiment with Arduino-based programming and mobile robots. The kit includes an Arduino Uno microcontroller module. The frame is made out of durable laser-cut Lexan parts, and the drive system is comprised of the Tamiya Twin-Motor Gear Box (must be assembled in configuration A) and a Tamiya Track and Wheel Set. Arduino Uno The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 microchip. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a 1.5m USB Cable Type A to B or power it with an Wall Adapter Power Supply - 9VDC 650mA or DFRobot 7.4V Lipo 2200mAh Battery (Arduino Power Jack) to get started. The DFRobotShop Rover Shield is the ideal "all in one" shield for small, Arduino-based mobile robot development. The shield allows you to power your Arduino using a 3.7V LiPo battery (also included with this kit) and even has a 3.7V LiPo charger onboard, allowing you to charge the battery via USB. The onboard L298P H-bridge (dual brushed DC motor controller) is perfect for controlling two small, low voltage gear motors and allows for full control over speed and direction. Additional features include a universal IR receiver, XBee headers and analog pins broken out (for easy connection to sensors). Shield Features Dual DC motor controller (3.5 to 9V and up to 2A per channel) Onboard voltage regulator 3.7V LiPo battery charger (via micro USB connector) XBee headers 38Khz Universal IR receiver (~10m unobstructed range) On/Off switch & reset button 3-pin analog headers (signal / 5V / GND) Shield stacking headers View more What's Included 1x Mini RobotShop Rover Frame 1x Mini RobotShop Rover Hardware (wire, crimps, standoffs, screws) 1x Tamiya Twin Motor Gearbox (must be assembled in configuration A) 1x Tamiya Tracks & Sprocket Kit 1x DFRobotShop Rover Shield 1x Arduino Uno microcontroller 1x 3.7V 1000mAh LiPo battery Dimensions Width: 10.8cm Length: 11.8cm Height: 7cm Top Angle: 5 deg Weight: 135g There is a 36mm wide x 7mm high gap in the top support plate for a 3.7V, 1000mAh LiPo battery. Foam is included so the battery is a "friction fit" Front mounting slots are for general use.
