Most diverse functions Requires no programming Patented sensor technology
Summary
We are pleased that you have decided for this high-quality soldering kit for mobile robots. It opens up a new and exciting access to analog amplifier circuits. You will certainly have fun and experience various possibilities to experi­ment and tinker about for a long time.
This control unit gains its “sensory impressions”
with the help of light sensitive sensors. With the patented combination of sensors, your robot can navigate precisely and react sensitively to its environment.
The “brain cells” of the circuit board consist of
four operational amplifiers. They control the motors and can be wired variably with resistors, capacitors, or diodes via numerous slots.
The unit is capable of a lot:
Surprising driving maneuvers through
sensitive reaction to light and shadow
Avoiding obstacles and collisions Following dark or bright lines Following different objects Remote controlling via flashlight Interaction with other robots via infra-
red light
Combination of different functions
