ROBOTICS7T2ETA

DIY ROBOT KIT

Robot designed for building skills and more, for students. Built on the main PCB for simplicity, with open source components and user’s ability to customizd

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

Holds the robot together

PCB BASE

Used as the base to hold components together. Has copper traces to form network connections to power the robot. Has 2 layers of wiring.

RED, BLUE

A PCB base as 2 layers of wiring: red and blue. The top wirings are the color __, while the bottom wirings are __.

MOTOR MOUNT

Installed in all vehicles to stabilize the engine & protect other components from the internal combustion process

CASTER WHEELS

An assembly that includes a wheel and a mount. Used to support the robot and make it easy to maneuver.

MOTOR DRIVER

Converts the low current signal to high current signal, which helps drive the motor.

DC MOTOR

Converts direct electrical current into mechanical rotational energy through electromagnetic forces.

MOTOR WHEELS

An electric motor that moves the robot.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE

A device that emits light when current flows through it

PIEZO BUZZER

An audio signaling device that produces sound when current flows through it.

MICROCONTROLLER

An integrated circuit that serves as the brain of the Pepito. Includes a processor, memory and input/output peripherals on a single chip.

ULTRASONIC DISRANCE SENSOR

Measures disrance by using ultrasonic waves. The sensor head emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from the target.

INFRARED SENSOR

A sensor placed under the Pepito to trace the line.

BOLTS AND NUTS

Used to firmly hold and fasten the parts of Pepito.

HEXAGONAL STANDOFF

Used to hold parts on a much larger distance. 

DC PLUG BATTERY CONNECTOR

Used to transfer the power from the battery to the circuit.

9V RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

The power source of Pepito.

MINI USB CABLE CONNECTOR

Used to upload the program from your computer to the Pepito.

CONNECTING WIRES

Used to connect the parts of Pepito to the microcontroller.

GEAR MOTOR, MOTOR DRIVER, CASTER WHEEL, WHEELS, MICROCONTROLLER, HEXAGONAL STANDOFF

Building steps in order.

ARDUINO IDE

Connects to Arduino hardware to upload programs and communicate with them.

SKETCHES

Programs written using Arduino IDE, saved with file .ino.

FASTER AND MORE POWERFUL

There are 2 versions of Arduino IDE. One is the Legacy Version (1.x.x), another is IDE 2.x which is ___.

TOOLBAR WITH BUTTONS

A series of buttons or a menu in Arduino IDE V.2.

SAVE BUTTON

found in Arduino toolbar. Saves the sketch. Arrow down icon.

NEW

Found in Arduino toolbar, Creates a new sketch. Piece of paper icon.

SIDEBAR

Gives quick access to regularly used tools like board managers and libraries.

TEXT EDITOR

Where you write the code in Arduino IDE.

MESSAGE AREA

Gives feedback while saving & exporting, shows errors, Arduino IDE.

TEXT CONSOLE

Displays text output, including error messages and other info in Arduino IDE.
