ACEBOTT ESP32 Robot Car with 4x4 Mecanum Wheel Drive | DIY | STEM

Step into the world of robotics with the ESP32 Robot Car Kit, perfect for both beginners and experienced tech enthusiasts. This versatile robot car, powered by the powerful ESP32 controller, makes learning programming and working with electronics not only accessible but also incredibly fun. With 16 engaging tutorials, you’ll discover the world of coding and hardware step by step while bringing your own advanced smart car to life.

Main features:

• Ideal for beginners: The ESP32 controller, which is easy to program with the free Arduino IDE software, makes it easy to get started quickly. Whether you’re just starting out with programming or already have some experience, this kit provides everything you need to develop your skills.

• Mecanum Wheels for 360° Freedom of Movement: This robot car is equipped with Mecanum wheels, allowing your car to move in all directions—sideways, diagonally, you name it! This unique design ensures the car can turn and maneuver effortlessly in complex environments.

• TT DC Geared Motors for Powerful Drive: The four included TT DC-geared motors give your robot the power needed to handle any terrain. These motors provide a stable and smooth driving experience, regardless of the direction you drive.

• Trace Sensor for Smart Line Following: With the trace sensor, your robot car can easily follow lines on the ground. This is ideal for creating automated routes or participating in line-following competitions. The sensor detects contrasts between black and white, allowing your robot to stay accurately on the line.

• Ultrasonic Sensor for Obstacle Avoidance: The ultrasonic sensor acts as the eyes of your robot. It detects objects in its path and ensures your robot automatically avoids obstacles. This makes your robot not only smart but also surprisingly interactive!

• Servo SG90 for Moving Sensors: The included Servo SG90 9G is used to move the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, so your robot can "look" in different directions. This helps the robot see where it can safely drive, effectively avoiding obstacles.

• Infrared and App Control: Control your robot with the infrared remote control or via the Acebott app, available for both Android and iOS. Via Bluetooth or WiFi, you have full control over your robot and can fine-tune its movements.

Kit contents: This kit contains everything you need to build and program your own smart robot car:

• ESP32 Max V1.0 controller board (1x): The brain of your robot, easy to program via the Arduino IDE.
• ESP32-Car-Shield (1x): An expansion board that connects your ESP32 to all sensors and motors.
• Blue LED module (2x): Add light signals to your robot for extra flair.
• P-Buzzer Module (1x): Let your robot make sounds to provide feedback or trigger alarms.
• IR Receiver Module (1x): For infrared control, allowing you to easily give commands remotely.
• Ultrasonic sensor (1x): Detects obstacles and ensures your robot avoids them.
• Trace Sensor (1x): For accurately following lines on the ground.
• TT DC Geared Motor (4x): Powerful motors that drive the robot and ensure smooth movements.
• Mecanum Wheels (4x): Unique wheels that enable 360° movement.
• IR remote control (1x): For easy control of your robot.
• Servo SG90 9G (1x): For moving the ultrasonic sensor, so the robot can look in different directions.
• 18650 Battery Holder (1x): To power your robot.
• USB cable 1M (1x): For connecting your robot to your computer to upload code.
• Various Dupont cables (3P, 4P, 5P): For connecting the different modules and sensors.
• Various mounting materials such as screws, nuts, couplings, and mounting brackets.
• Acrylic mounting plate: The sturdy base on which your robot is built.
• Ultrasonic bracket: For mounting the ultrasonic sensor.

Note: The robot requires 2x 18650 batteries for power, which are not included. Make sure to purchase these separately to be able to use your robot.

A separate 18650 battery charger is needed to charge the 18650.

Manual in English: The included manual is entirely in English, providing clear instructions and guidance while building and programming your robot.

With the ESP32 Robot Car Kit, you not only build an advanced robot but also learn valuable skills that prepare you for future technological adventures. This kit is perfect for STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and ideal for anyone with a passion for robotics and technology.
