SAFETY CAUTIONS

Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.

Overview

This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. 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 assembing, 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 on the AlphaBot2-Base

AlphaBot2 control interface: for connecting sorts of controller adapter board
Ultrasonic module interface
Obstacle avoiding indicators
Omni-direction wheel
ST188: reflective infrared photoelectric sensor, for obstacle avoiding
ITR20001/T: reflective infrared photoelectric sensor, for line tracking
Potentiometer for adjusting obstacle avoiding range
TB6612FNG dual H-bridge motor driver
LM393 voltage comparator
N20 micro gear motor reduction rate 1:30, 6V/600RPM
Rubber wheels diameter 42mm, width 19mm
Power switch
Battery holder: supports 14500 batteries
WS2812B: true color RGB LEDs
Battery charging indicator
5V USB battery charging port
Power indicator
