RoverC-Pro

SKU:K036-B

Description

RoverC-Pro is a programmable Mecanum wheel omnidirectional mobile robot base. Compatible with M5StickC/M5StickC PLUS, it can be initialized by just inserting M5StickC/M5StickC PLUS. The main control chip is STM32F030C6T6, and it incorporates four N20 worm gear motors to drive the wheels directly by the motor driver.

The PRO version provides a gripping mechanism controlled by a servo for gripping objects. The base provides two dedicated servo control drivers. In addition, it also provides two Grove-compatible I2C connectors to facilitate the expansion of other modules. The base is compatible with Lego and can be expanded structurally. There is an 16340 (700mAh) battery on the back, from which the battery can be replaced. It can be recharged through M5StickC/M5StickC PLUS. The power of the base is controlled by an independent switch.

Example

Arduino

1: This case uses RoverC and JoyC to realize wireless control through UDP communication. Please select the corresponding case program below according to the equipment you are using.

Note: Please make sure that RoverC is fully charged before use. Charging method: insert M5StickC into RoverC and connect the USB cable for charging. Burn the EasyLoader firmware of JoyC and RoverC to two M5StickCs respectively, and insert JoyC and RoverC respectively after burning , RoverC will display "M5AP+2-byte mac address" hotspot name after booting up, and at the same time JoyC will scan the mac address name of RoverC, press and hold the Home button of M5StickC on JoyC for 3 seconds to start scanning the hotspot of the car, and you can pair success. After successful pairing, the link icon will be highlighted in the upper left corner of the screen, and the joystick value will be displayed on the screen. The left joystick controls the front and rear up and down, the left and right controls the pan, the right joystick controls the left and right steering.

2: This case is a RoverC stand-alone control program, which is directly controlled by the main controller. Please select the corresponding case program below according to the equipment you are using.
