The third in the series is here! The CamJam EduKit #3 is focused on robotics and contains (almost) everything you need to create your very own Raspberry Pi-powered robot.

All you need to do is to add your own chassis, Raspberry Pi (any model) & batteries! Then, follow the worksheets to make your own motorized buggy. Add the included sensors and you will soon be detecting objects in front of your robot and following line courses. Included in the kit are the following components:

• A custom-designed, pre-soldered motor controller board (with screw terminals)
• Two DC motors (with wires pre-soldered)
• Two custom red wheels (which go extra fast… because they’re red!)
• A ball castor (used as the ‘third wheel’ to your robot)
• A small breadboard (to create your circuits)
• Two pieces of strong 3M padded double-sided tape
• A battery box for 4 AA batteries (batteries not included)
• An ultrasonic distance sensor (for detecting objects in front of your robot)
• A line follower sensor (for detecting and following black lines)
• Resistors and jumper cables with which to complete your circuits
• A strong cardboard box to keep it all in… or to cut into to make your chassis!

Description

This package offers a year-long robotics course. The course commences with the fundamentals of robotics and coding as well as the importance of simulation.

Once the fundamentals are covered, students take part in a practical project where they’re required to build an automated hand sanitiser. An infra-red sensor will detect a hand and the system will discharge a small amount of soap or sanitiser. The second project in the course is a practical project called the Home Automation System. In this project, students will demonstrate the practical application of servo motors, temperature sensors, infrared sensors, fans, buzzers, lighting and a security system feature in a home automation system.

After completing these two practical projects, the course will introduce students to the world's most popular coding language: Python. Throughout the course, students will learn how to develop several applications such as Tic Tac Toe, Hangman and Pong.

*Pico & 14500 Batteries not included*

Make the Raspberry Pi Pico the core of your new robotics project with the Kitronik Compact Robotics Board for Raspberry Pi Pico.

The Robotics Board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs. These are capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each, with full forward, reverse, and stop control. There are also 8 servo outputs, capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos. They can all be controlled by the Pico using the I2C protocol, via a 16 channel driver IC. The IO break out provides connections to all the unused pins on the Pico. The 27 available I/O pins allow other devices, such as sensors or ZIP LEDs, to be added to the board.

Power is provided via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on/off power switch to the board and there is also a green LED to indicate when the board has power. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected Pico. This removes the need to power the Pico separately. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the header, which means external devices can also be powered.

To use the robotics board, the Pico should be firmly inserted into the dual row pin socket on the board. Ensure the Pico is inserted with the USB connector at the same end as the power connectors on the robotics board. This will allow access to all of the board functions and each pin broken out.


Features :

• A compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your Raspberry Pi Pico robotics projects.
• The board can drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors), with full forward, reverse, and stop control, and 8 servos.
• It also features 27 other I/O expansion points and Power and Ground connections.
• The I2C communication lines are also broken out allowing other I2C compatible devices to be controlled.
• Additionally, the board features an on/off switch and power status LED.
• Power the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector.
• The 3V and GND pins are broken out to solder pads, allowing external devices to be powered.
• Code it with MicroPython via an editor such as the Thonny editor.

Description:

Cytron Maker Pi RP2040 features the first microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi - RP2040, embedded on a robot controller board. This board comes with dual channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports and 7 Grove I/O connectors, ready for your next DIY robot / motion control project. Now you can build robot, while trying out the new RP2040 chip.

The DC motor driver onboard is able to control 2x brushed DC motors or 1x bipolar/unipolar stepper motor rated from 3.6V to 6V, providing up to 1A current per channel continuously. The built-in Quick Test buttons and motor output LEDs allow functional test of the motor driver in a quick and convenient way, without the need of writing any code. Vmotor for both DC and servo motors depends on the input voltage supplied to the board.

There are three ways to supply power to the Maker Pi RP2040 - via USB (5V) socket, with a single cell LiPo/Li-Ion battery or through the VIN (3.6-6V) terminals. However only one power source is needed to power up both controller board and motors at a time. Power supply from all these power sources can all be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard.




Maker Pi RP2040 features all the goodness of Cytron's Maker series products. It too has lots of LEDs useful for troubleshooting (& visual effects), is able to make quite some noise with the onboard piezo buzzer and comes with push buttons ready to detect your touch.
