The DFRobotShop Rover V2 – Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Smartphone Development Kit) is a versatile mobile robot tank based on the popular Arduino Uno USB Microcontroller Rev 3 microcontroller. The Rover uses the popular Tamiya twin motor gearbox and the Tamiya track and wheel set. The DFRobotShop Rover PCB incorporates a standard Arduino Uno (surface mount ATMega328), L293B motor driver (connected to pins 5 to 8), voltage regulator and prototyping area while contributing to the mechanical structural of the robot. The onboard voltage regulator allows the entire board to be powered using as little as 3.7V to ~9V*
Important Notes
1) If you are using the 4xAA battery pack, please remove the jumper located at the left rear of the board.
2) This is a development platform, and only basic code is provided. It is up to the user to develop an APP to communicate with the rover. If you think your app would appeal to many people, we encourage you to refine it and put it for sale on Google Play and bring it to our attention.
In order to make assembly as easy as possible, solderless quick connect terminals have been included to give customers the option of crimping the wires to the motors (soldering is still preferable). The DFRobotShop Rover is compatible with a variety of shields when used at the same time as the motor driver, and is compatible with all shiels when not using the motor driver. Additional features include 2x encoder connectors connected to A0 and A1 for use with the Encoder Pair for Tamiya Twin Motor Gearbox , pinout for DFRobot Bluetooth and DFRobot APC220 RF modules as well as 6x cool blue LEDs (jumper selectable) placed around the board.
*Note that the Tamiya Twin-Motor Gear Box included with the kit operates at 4.5V For 6V motors purchase 2x RB-Pol-202.
Note: Due to the requirements of shipping these batteries and restrictions from shipping companies, only two batteries can be shipped together at one time. If more than two batteries are added to your cart you will be unable to complete your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
