AlphaBot2 Robotic Kit
Raspberry Pi Robotics Kit
The AlphaBot 2 is a great starter kit for someone looking to get into robotics. This kit will teach you the basics of line following, obstacle avoidance Bluetooth/infrared/Wi-Fi remote control, video monitoring and more. For the beginner soldering can be an issue but this kit snaps together without the need for any additional electronics skills. Once assembled you can get down to the business of learning to programme the AlphaBot and start your robotics careers!
This kit requires a Raspberry Pi 3 model B, a more cost-effective board, with more than enough power to perform advanced environmental data processing required for a proper robot.
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
