I like the purple color:) It matches Maker UNO.
This Aluminum Chassis in Blinka purple makes for an excellent robot body. It's a single piece of bent 2mm thick aluminum, with a variety of holes, slots and cutouts for mounting boards, sensors, and servos. The sides are notched to fit two DC Gear 'TT' motors perfectly - There are four M3 and nuts are included for mounting the motors. In the front you can screw on a ball caster. You can build a very sturdy (and quite handsome!) little robot rover with this metal frame.
Specifications:
- It's made of aluminum so it's light and strong
- The anodizing is quite attractive as a mobile robot, if you use Maker UNO or Maker Pi RP2040, it looks awesome
- Can be used to build a 2-wheel mobile robot
- Tons of mounting holes & slots!
- You can drill and cut aluminum so it's easy to modify
- There are ready mounting holes for Arduino UNO , and Raspberry Pi (though, for Raspberry Pi, there is some slight error).
Note: This is a kit with loose parts, you need to assemble it yourself, DIY :)
Then you will also need a microcontroller and motor driver that can drive the 5V DC motors. We recommend one of the following
- Arduino UNO, or Maker Pi RP2040 or Maker UNO
- Motor Control Shield (drives up to 4 motors), or Maker Drive, or H-Bridge
- Raspberry Pi
What's in the box?
1 x purple color chassis
2 x DC Gearbox "TT" Motors (Yellow color)
2 x "TT" Wheels (White Rim with Black Tyres, 66mm diameter, 15mm thickness)
1 x Metal ball caster (metal ball, plastic holder)
4 x M3, 25mm bolt nut (Mount "TT" to chasis)
2 x M3, 6mm bolt nut (Mount caster to chasis, nut is not needed though)
2 x 15mm self taping screw (secure wheel to "TT" motor shaft)
Maker Reflect is a tiny reflectance sensor that consists of an infrared (IR) LED that transmits IR light onto a surface and a phototransistor measures how much light is reflected back. The output is in analog voltage - The more IR light is sensed by the phototransistor, the lower the voltage.
Typically this sensor is used in line following robot as the white surfaces reflect more IR than black surfaces. However, it is not limited to line follower, there are much more application which can utilize the Maker Reflect. Eg.: Edge/Border sensor in Sumo robot, wall sensor in maze solving robot, short-distance object detector (presence sensor), a sensor for rotary wheel encoder...etc.
Measuring only (L)18.1mm x (W)8.4mm x (H)4.2mm (Exclude the header pin), this tiny sensor can be easily fitted in the tightest space available on your robot. We purposely designed the sensor so that the mounting hole is at the center so that the sensor can be at the front-most position. This is especially important in the Sumo robot.
Features:
- Operating Voltage: 3.3V and 5V Compatible
- Sensing Distance (Height): 1mm to 40mm (Vcc = 5V, Black line on a white surface)
- Output: Analog Voltage (White surface = lower voltage)
Example Application: Line Following Robot, Sumo Robot, Wall Following Robot, Short Distance Object Sensing, Sensor for Printed Rotary Wheel Encoder.

Maker Soil Moisture Sensor measures soil moisture by capacitive sensing, where the presence of water in the soil will increase the probe capacitance. The output of the sensor is analog output; higher moisture levels will produce lower output voltage. Being part of the Maker Series, the sensor is equipped with many features to further simplify digital making for beginners and experts alike.
The Maker Soil Moisture Sensor is easy to use. It only needs a power supply, if the LED indicators alone are enough for your application. Make sure that the voltage level of the power supply is within the sensor specifications. Note that the LED indicators only indicate approximate moisture levels and might fluctuate depending on the power supply, since the sensor does not have a voltage regulator on board.

Seeking for the ideal carrier board for your Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4/5 (CM4/5)? Introducing the CM4/CM5 Maker Board.
What is the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4/5?
The CM4/CM5 has an option for cost-sensitive applications to be supplied without the eMMC fitted; this version is called the CM4Lite. The form factor of the new CM4/CM5 is different from previous Compute modules, which have all shared a form factor. The change is due to the addition of new interfaces; a second HDMI, PCIe, and Ethernet. The addition of these new interfaces, especially PCIe, would not have been possible while preserving the older form factor. Instead, the electrical interface of the CM4/CM5 is via two 100-pin high-density connectors. While the switch to a newer form factor has allowed a reduction in the footprint. The total footprint of the CM4/CM5, including the socket, is smaller with the new form factor design.

Connections Made Simple
No more stumbling around with tricky wiring or setups. Connections are simple with Robo Pico. All GPIO pins are thoughtfully arranged at the edge through the Grove and Maker ports, which skips the need for soldering and enables quicker connection of any Qwiic, STEMMA QT, or Grove I2C device. Meanwhile, all Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W pins can be accessed via two 20-way pin headers. With Robo Pico, you only need to press a single button to reset the microcontroller, eliminating the hassle of plugging and unplugging the USB cable repeatedly.
Power Up The Way You Like
There are three ways to supply power to the Robo Pico - via the Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W USB (5V) socket, with a single-cell LiPo/Li-Ion battery, or through the VIN (3.6–6V) terminals. However, only one power source is needed to power up both controller board and motors at a time. The power supply from all these power sources can all be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard.

This is the TF-Luna from Benewake, it offers range detection from 20cm to 8 meters and it is a single-point ranging LiDAR Distance Sensor, based on the TOF principle. With unique optical and electrical design, it can achieve stable, accurate, and highly sensitive range measurements.
The product is built with algorithms adapted to various application environments and adopts multiple adjustable configurations and parameters so as to offer excellent distance measurement performances in complex application fields and scenarios.
How does this LiDAR work?
TF-Luna is based on TOF, namely, the Time of Flight principle. It emits modulation waves of near-infrared rays on a periodic basis, which will be reflected after contact with an object. The LiDAR obtains the time of flight by measuring the round-trip phase difference and then calculates the relative distance between the LiDAR and the detected object.
TF-Luna supports power saving mode for power-sensitive applications, it reduces its power consumption by adjusting both the current level and duty cycle of the light source. With a 5 V power supply, TF-Luna’s power consumption on Continuous ranging mode is about 350 mW as the light source switch to the highest current level and duty cycle.
Note: Not recommended for measuring the level of liquids. This is because LiDAR relies on the reflection of laser pulses off of solid objects to determine distance, and liquid surfaces are often too smooth and reflective to produce a reliable reflection.

Motion 2350 Pro - Advanced Robotics Controller for Beginners
It has been a few years since the first microcontroller by Raspberry Pi, the RP2040, was launched. Now, Raspberry Pi has introduced the latest upgraded processor, the RP2350. Introducing MOTION 2350 Pro, designed by Cytron, leveraging the new RP2350 processor. Built for beginner and intermediate users to experience the Pro version of the board. Ideal for those who want to build an advanced robot, minimize efforts on electronics, and focus on mechanics.
More Power, More Ports, More Connectivity
The Motion 2350 Pro features an advanced DC motor driver capable of controlling up to 4 brushed DC motors (3A Max each channel), with voltage ratings from 3.6V to 16V. Building a powerful robot with mecanum wheels has never been easier, thanks to this robust 4-channel driver! Additionally, the controller is equipped with 8-channel 5V servo ports, 8-channel GPIO breakout, and 3 Maker Ports, enabling you to connect a wide array of components and sensors. The highlight? The Motion 2350 Pro comes with a direct USB host for a USB joystick/gamepad, ensuring true plug-and-play convenience.
Favourable Maker Features
“Maker” features have been a signature of Cytron products. GPIO references printed on the silkscreen and colored headers help beginners connect components to the correct GPIO pins. The built-in quick test buttons and motor output LEDs allow for quick and convenient functional testing of the motor driver without writing any code. The user buttons and piezo buzzer are also beneficial for running simple commands, eliminating the need for extra wiring! Of course not to forget the LED indicator for each Digitial IO pin.
The MOTION 2350 Pro combines the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, the benefits of the Maker series, an advanced robot controller, and other useful features. Therefore, this board is compatible with the existing Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem. Software, firmware, libraries, and resources developed for Pico should work seamlessly with the MOTION 2350 Pro allowing users to program in familiar environments such as Python (MicroPython, CircuitPython), C/C++, and Arduino IDE (coming soon).
CircuitPython is preloaded on the MOTION 2350 Pro, running a simple demo program right out of the box. Connect it to your computer via a USB-C cable and turn it on. You will be greeted by a melody tune and running LED lights. Press the GP20 and GP21 push buttons to run another demo code. With this demo code and quick test buttons, you can test the board the moment you receive it!

The VL53L0X V2 time-of-flight range-finding sensor is a new generation of laser ranging modules. The VL53L0X is a Time of Flight distance sensor like no other you've used! The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source and a matching sensor. The VL53L0X can detect the "time of flight", or how long the light has taken to bounce back to the sensor. Since it uses a very narrow light source, it is good for determining the distance of only the surface directly in front of it. Unlike sonars that bounce ultrasonic waves, the 'cone' of sensing is very narrow. Unlike IR distance sensors that try to measure the amount of light bounced, the VL53L0x is much more precise and doesn't have linearity problems or 'double imaging' where you can't tell if an object is very far or very close.
The VL53L0X can handle about 50mm to 1200mm of range distance, yes, that is 1.2 meters :)
The sensor is small and easy to use in any robotics or interactive project. Since it needs 2.8V power and logic we put the little fellow on a breakout board with a regulator and level shifting. You can use it with any 3-5V power or logic microcontroller with no worries. Each order comes with a small piece of header pin. Solder the header onto your breakout board with your iron and some solder and wire it up for instant distance-sensing success!
Communicating to the sensor is done over I2C with an API written by ST, so it's not too hard to port it to your favorite microcontroller. We've written a wrapper library for Arduino so you can use it with any of your Arduino-compatible boards.
