Don't worry! This kit comes with a booklet covering all the hands-on lessons you need to get started. Every step is explained clearly with the help of images. We make sure that the common issues when building and coding the Arduino mobile robot are properly addressed in this booklet. Besides it comes with fun facts to feed the curious minds too.

No Soldering! Just Jumper Wires

There is no soldering involved in order for more young makers to take part in the building process. To make things even simpler, the detailed schematic diagram and mounting location of the parts are printed inside the box. Hence you can build and connect with greater confidence as you embark on this digital making journey.



This mobile robot kit is based on Maker UNO (Arduino Uno compatible).

Box = Mobile Robot Base

We designed the packaging box of PikaBot to be reusable. Not only that it's used for packing the complete set of components needed for the project, it serves as the robot base and cover of your PikaBot mobile robot too.

Line Following & Obstacle Avoidance

What can your PikaBot do? It can follow line, simple yet practical navigation that is widely used in AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and many robot competition. The kit comes with a pair of infrared sensors which you can calibrate & program to recognize black and white surfaces. PikaBot also includes an ultrasonic distance sensor so it can detect obstacles in front of it.

mBlock Graphical Programming Interface

Besides using the Arduino IDE as taught in our user guide booklet, you can also program PikaBot with mBlock block-based programmming interface. Check out this tutorial to learn more.

Telegram Stickers!

Last but not least, we've designed some expressive PikaBot stickers for Telegram messenger for all you PikaBot lovers! If you are a Telegram user, grab the sticker pack here: https://t.me/addstickers/cytron_pikabot. Have fun!

1. Most of the students do not have basic knowledge in electronics.



2. They do not understand the circuit diagram at the beginning of the Arduino lesson. They will spend a substantial amount of time just to connect the wires and troubleshoot the connections.

3. It's a mess after every class. The teacher has to sort and make sure nothing is missing. What a tedious job and a waste of time! 

Students can skip the hassle of constructing the basic electronic circuit which is boring and time consuming. Although it is equally important for them to learn about basic electronics, it can always come later after they have experienced how easy it is to create awesome project. Start with fun and excitement. Start coding right away and see your board lights up and plays melody with the press of a button. 



With the conventional Arduino boards, students also face another common problem - difficulty in troubleshooting their circuit. This is because when it doesn't work, we do not know whether the problem is due to wire connection or coding.



With Maker UNO, the problem is solved! Not only do the onboard LEDs work as outputs, they can also act as indicators, clearly showing what's happening on that pin. When the pin is used as input, you can clearly see whether the signal is received by just looking at changes on the LEDs. 

Additional Features

One of the brilliant features of the official Arduino Uno is the label printed on its pin headers. It saves us a lot of time when we want to connect the I/O pins to the external circuit. So, we include a set of these label stickers for pin headers in each of the Maker UNO! (Please note that you need to peel off the stickers and stick them on your Maker UNO by yourself)



Students always get their boards mixed up. With Maker UNO, you can write your name on the board. Problem solved!



Maker UNO uses the common Micro USB cable which is basically everywhere.



Don't throw your box away! There is a small opening on the box for you to plug the USB cable so that you can keep your Maker UNO safely in the original box, no additional casing required.

Specifications

Maker UNO is fully compatible with Arduino. You can share the same library and code. We put in 12x LEDs, 1x piezo buzzer and 1x programmable button on the Maker UNO. We have removed the DC jack power input socket as most of the boards used in classes are powered using USB. We have also replaced the ATmega16u2 with CH340 to bring down the cost.

• Program Maker UNO using Chromebook

• Hard to get started without additional devices (monitor, keyboard, and mouse). Beginners will either need to use additional devices or follow many steps just to get started. This may confuse them. For techies that want to know why, this is because it lacks an onboard USB to UART communication for your computer to get the IP address for SSH (headless), or to kick start configuration directly.
• Hard to get started with electronics. It doesn't come with any inputs or outputs, you will need to connect additional accessories to use it. Most beginners do not have basic knowledge of electronics. They will have a problem to understand the circuit diagram and connections needed when they first started learning. They will spend a substantial amount of time just to connect the wires and troubleshoot the connections.
• Hard to troubleshoot the GPIO. With just the raspberry pi, beginners face a common problem when learning electronics- difficulty in troubleshooting their circuit. This is because when it doesn't work, we do not know whether the problem is due to wire connection or coding.
• Access to GPIO is kind of difficult. There is no label on the pins, you need to search online to get the designated pin and know which pin to connect. For beginners, this definitely will make it harder for them to make the connection correctly. 
• No easy way to properly shutdown using a switch. There is no programmable push button to enable proper shutdown through hardware. If the beginner turns off the power without properly shutting it down, the raspberry pi may not work the next time. 

Maker pHAT solves all these. It is designed to:

• Simplify to get started with Raspberry Pi without additional monitor, keyboard or mouse (Headless). Go headless with a few simple steps as it enables users to remote access Raspberry Pi through serial.
• Simplify learning electronics. Beginners can skip the hassle of constructing the basic electronic circuit which is boring and time-consuming. Although it is equally important for them to learn about basic electronics, it can always come later after they have experienced how easy it is to create an awesome project. Start with fun and excitement. Start coding right away and see your board lights up and plays sound with the press of a button. It comes with onboard LEDs, pushbuttons, and a buzzer to easily learn how to control input and output. No messy wiring needed and no additional components needed.
• Simplify troubleshooting and prototyping. Not only do the onboard LEDs work as outputs, but they can also act as indicators, clearly showing what's happening on that pin. When the pin is used as input, you can clearly see whether the signal is received by just looking at changes on the LEDs. The pre-soldered header pins come with nice labels. This helps the user to easily connect inputs and outputs to the right pins. This will further assist them in interfacing with sensors and actuators.
• Simplify proper shutdown using pushbutton. You can easily follow the steps and choose one of the pushbuttons as the power button to properly shutdown the Raspberry Pi. Just press the button and it will shut down. 

Maker pHAT is designed to be the same size as Raspberry Pi Zero board, it stacks perfectly on top of Rpi Zero with the four mounting holes aligned. (What is a HAT? Read this to know more) We do advise getting Raspberry Pi Zero WH (pre-solder header pin) for beginner because it is not an easy work to solder the 40-pin GPIO, don't forget you'll need to have the soldering tools too.



Maker pHAT is also compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B , 3A ,  and of course the latest 4B too. You just need to insert the 2x20 stacking header(included), as photo shows:

Maker pHAT is compatible with:

• Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 (will need to solder 2x20 header pin - NOT included can consider Straight Pin Header (Male) 2x40 Ways)

This sensor works by having a series of exposed traces connected to ground and interlaced between the grounded traces are the sens traces. The sensor traces have a weak pull-up resistor of 1 MΩ. The resistor will pull the sensor trace value high until a drop of water shorts the sensor trace to the grounded trace.

For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.

Believe it or not, this circuit will work with the digital I/O pins of your Arduino or you can use it with the analogue pins to detect the amount of water induced contact between the grounded and sensor traces. Suitable to detect rainfall, tank overflow, water leakage.

You can get grove HAT for Raspberry Pi or if you want to use this module with Arduino board, you can get grove shield for Arduino. Also great for the Maker Pico board with grove adapters

Grove - Temperature Sensor uses a thermistor to measure ambient temperature. The resistance of thermistor changes based on ambient temperature. This resistance value alters the output of a voltage divider which is measured by an analog input pin and converted to a temperature value. The operating range is -40 to 125°C , with an accuracy of 1.5°C.

For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.

Ready to use with microcontrollers as a digital input. This product also has a compact modular design Plug-and-play grove compatible interface.

Maker Drive is not an Arduino Shield, but it is compatible with different models of Arduino main board such as:

• Maker UNO
• Arduino UNO R3
• Arduino Mega 2560
• Arduino Nano
• Arduino Pro Mini
• And the list goes on.....

Not to forget that it accepts 1.8V, 3.3V & 5V logic(for control) and is compatible with controllers such as Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP etc.

Since you have Maker Drive, you will need suitable DC brushed motors besides the controller, right? So which motor is suitable for Maker Drive? Well, as long as the motor is...

• DC Brush motor (Two Terminals)
• Operating voltage from 2.5V to 9.5VDC
• Rated Current ≤ 1.0A
• Peak Current ≤ 1.5A

Example of suitable DC brush motor for Maker Drive (Not limit to):

• TT-02 DIY Car Model TT Motor w/ Wheel - Black Yellow
• 2WD Robot Car Chassis Kit single

These are the suggested power sources for Maker Drive:

• 2, 3 or 4 x AA/AAA batteries (2 x 1.5V = 3.0V) Battery holder

• Dual-channel, Bi-directional control motor driver
• Support motor voltage from 2.5V to 9.5VDC
• Maximum current up to 1.0A continuous and 1.5A peak (less than 5 seconds)
• 5V Output (200mA) to power the controller.
• Inputs compatible with 1.8V, 3.3V and 5V logic (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc).
• Solid-state components provide faster response time and eliminate the wear and tear of mechanical relay
• Regenerative Braking
• Speed control PWM frequency up to 20KHz (Actual output frequency is the same as input frequency)
• Dimension: 43mm(W) x 35mm (L) x 14mm (H)
