This kit comes with controller board UNO PLUS, AlphaBot robotic platform (line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, IR control), and ultrasonic sensor.

While utilizing UNO PLUS as controller board, this kit is based on the Arduino software/hardware open source platform. Combined with the modular design, it's an ideal platform to get started with Arduino robot.

UNO PLUS Features

UNO PLUS is a development board compatible with the Arduino UNO R3, an improved & enhanced alternative solution for Arduino UNO R3.

AlphaBot Features

• Raspberry Pi/Arduino interfaces, works with either one separately, or both

• Arduino extend header, supports Arduino shields

• Modular design, plug-and-play modules like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, etc. eliminating the trouble of connecting mess wires.

• LM298P motor driver with diode protection circuit, more safety

• LM2596 voltage regular, provides stable 5V power to the Raspberry Pi/Arduino

• TLC1543 AD acquisition chip, allows the Pi to use analog sensors
