Integrates with Raspberry Pi as a versatile control unit
Includes dual motor drivers, 1.8 A per channel
Facilitates I²C communication via level shifters
Provides 5 V power to Raspberry Pi efficiently
Features Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 microcontroller
The A-Star 32U4 Robot Controller LV w/ Raspberry Pi Bridge (SMT Components Only) is a versatile programmable module designed to serve as the central control unit for small robotic applications. It can function as an auxiliary controller when mounted on a Raspberry Pi or operate independently as a complete control solution. The module is powered by the ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller, which includes built-in USB functionality and comes preloaded with an Arduino-compatible bootloader.
This controller features dual motor drivers capable of delivering 1.8 A per channel, making it suitable for driving motors in robotic systems. It also includes an efficient voltage regulator that supports a wide input voltage range from 2.7 V to 11 V, allowing for flexible power options, particularly in battery-powered applications. The board is designed to conform to the Raspberry Pi HAT specification, facilitating seamless integration with Raspberry Pi models equipped with a 40-pin GPIO header.
The A-Star 32U4 Robot Controller is equipped with level shifters to enable easy interfacing with Raspberry Pi, supporting I²C communication and other signal exchanges. It automatically supplies 5 V power to an attached Raspberry Pi, allowing the Raspberry Pi to manage high-level control tasks while the A-Star handles low-level operations such as sensor readings and timing-sensitive device control. The module's compatibility with the Arduino environment ensures ease of programming and integration with existing Arduino projects.
If you are not satisfied for whatever reason with a Product you bought on the Site, it is possible to return it for refund within 30 days from the date you received it unless otherwise indicated in the Product listing. You must first advise the Vendor associated with your order in your account to obtain a return authorization (‘’RA’’) number before returning a Product. (‘’RA’’) numbers are valid for 30 days, within which time the returned Products should be received by the Vendor. No returns will be accepted without having previously obtained an (‘’RA’’) number. The Product must then be returned in its original packaging (in perfect condition for resale) with its receipt and your (‘’RA’’) number. Reimbursement will be denied for any Products which do not conform to the above mentioned conditions.
Build-it-yourself Robot Parts are not refundable once assembled. Robots & Kits requiring assembly or soldering are also not refundable once assembled, soldered or modified in any way. All sales of robotic software and apps are final and cannot be refunded or exchanged. Returns are not accepted on special orders and clearance items except when they are found defective, in which case the Product may be repaired or replaced at the Vendor’s discretion. 20% Restocking fees may apply if you are returning a large quantity of the same Product that was ordered specifically for you from the manufacturer.
Please note that all items will be reimbursed within 7 to 14 days of receiving the Product (shipping fees excluded). You must also cover the cost of returning the Product. Shipping fees will only be refunded if the return is a result of a shipping error on our part. Cleaning fees of USD 100 may also be charged if a domestic robot is returned and has not been properly cleaned.
