The WAVESHARE 31697 is the Pico2Go-Kit-EN model which is the Pico2Go smart mobile robot based on RP2350-Plus, it includes ultrasonic module, LCD module, Bluetooth module, line following module, and obstacle avoidance module, all these functions are highly integrated for easily achieving IR obstacle avoidance, auto line following, Bluetooth/IR remote control, and more.
With various advanced features, it will help you quickly get started with smart robot design and development.
The Pico2Go-Kit-EN is a Smart robot kit and is always the favorite project of electronic enthusiasts, and there've been several robots based on Raspberry Pi Pico, Zero W, 3B+, 4B in Waveshare's product line. Now, we are launching a version based on RP2350-Plus.
Features:
- Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series
- Battery protection circuit: over charge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, reverse proof, more stable and safe operating
- Recharge/discharge circuit, allows programming/debugging concurrently while recharging
- 5-ch infrared sensor, analog output, combined with PID algorithm, stable line tracking
- Onboard multiple smart robot sensors like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, no more messy wiring
- 1.14inch IPS colorful LCD display, 240 x135 pixels, 65K colors
- Integrates Bluetooth module, allows teleoperations like robot movement, RGB LED display color, buzzer, etc. by using mobile phone APP
- N20 micro gearmotors, with metal gears, low noise, high accuracy
- Colorful RGB LED, pretty cool
RP2350-Plus controller board features:
- RP2350A microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom
- Adopts unique dual-core and dual-architecture design: dual ARM Cortex-M33 or dual Hazard3 RISC-V processors support, flexible clock running up to 150 MHz
- 520KB of SRAM, and 4MB of on-board Flash memory
- USB 1.1 with device and host support
- Low-power sleep and dormant modes
- Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB
Longer battery life, more protections
Powered by 2 × 14500 Li-ion batteries (NOT included), supports running while recharging, with multiple battery protection circuits including over charge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, and reverse proof, together with battery life indicator and battery voltage monitor, more stable and safe operating.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- 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 used 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.
Full Functionality Various ways to release your creativity
IR obstacle avoidance
The module sends IR beam and detects objects by receiving the reflected IR beam, to easily avoid obstacles in the way.
Auto line following
Features 5-ch IR detector for sensing and analyzing the black line, combined with PID algorithm for adjusting robot movement, high sensitivity, stable tracking.
Object tracking
The robot is able to detect front object by ultrasonic or IR, and keeps moving to track the target automatically.
IR remote control
Integrates IR receiver, so that you can control the robot to move or turn direction by sending infrared light from the remote controller.
Bluetooth remote control
Comes with mobile phone APP, allows you to use the phone to control the movement of the robot, or control its peripherals like changing LED color, making the buzzer to sound, etc.
