WS AlphaBot2 robot building kit for Raspberry Pi 3, Pi 4 Model B (no Pi included)

Note: Raspberry Pi is NOT included. Batteries are not included

AlphaBot2-Pi (EN) can be used with Raspberry Pi4 ,you will need to buy a USB Micro-B to USB-C Adapter

This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with Raspberry Pi 3/4 Model B (not included). It features rich common robot functions including line tracking, obstacle avoiding, Bluetooth/infrared/WiFi remote control, 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 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-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

What's in the box?

Note: this product requires two 14500 batteries to work, which are NOT included and should be purchased separately. Even though the battery holder fits the normal AA batteries DO NOT USE THEM!  A 14500 lithium cell is identical in shape and size to a standard AA battery. But that is where the similarities end. AA supplies 1.5V each where 14500 supply 3.7V each.
