This expansion board is the core controller for a dual-wheel self-balancing robot, designed to plug directly onto an Arduino UNO. It consolidates motor driving, gyroscope, ultrasound, and wireless connectivity interfaces into a single board — removing the need for a rat's nest of external modules and wiring.
Build your own self-balancing robot by connecting two motors, attaching your Arduino UNO on the back, and wiring up your preferred sensors. The programming code from Elecrow gets you started quickly.
Key Features
- Arduino UNO Compatible – Connects directly to an Arduino UNO via the back interface
- Dual Motor Interfaces – Connect two DC motors for the balancing drive wheels
- Integrated Module Interfaces – Onboard connectors for motor driver, gyroscope, ultrasound, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi modules
- Compact Form Factor – 96 × 76mm PCB
Ideal For
- Building a DIY self-balancing robot with Arduino
- Robotics learning and PID control experimentation
- Students and makers exploring motor control and IMU-based balancing
Package Contents
- 1× Dual-wheel self-balancing car development board
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- Gyroscope
- A gyroscope measures rotation, such as how fast a board is turning around its X, Y, and Z axes. This matters for projects like gesture controls, balancing robots, and motion tracking where tilt or rotation changes need to be detected.
- IMU
- An IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) combines motion sensors, typically an accelerometer and gyroscope and sometimes a magnetometer, to measure movement and orientation. It can sense motion, tilt, vibration, rotation, and changes in direction, which is useful for tasks such as navigation, stabilisation, gesture detection, and asset tracking.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
