Build and program a tracked mini robot with Keyestudio’s DIY Mini Tank V2.0 kit. Its processor can be programmed in the Arduino IDE, while plug-in shields connect its pins to sensors and actuators.
The tank can avoid obstacles, follow light, respond to an IR remote or Bluetooth control, and display facial emoticons. Its aluminium alloy bracket, metal motors, wheels and tracks form a sturdy platform that assembles without soldering.
Fifteen learning projects progress from simple builds to more complex behaviour, introducing sensors and modules along the way. The motor driver shield and sensor shield provide connections for further modules.
Features:
- Multiple functions: Obstacle avoidance, following, IR remote control, Bluetooth control, ultrasonic following and facial emoticon display.
- Simple assembly: No circuit soldering required.
- Sturdy construction: Aluminium alloy bracket, metal motors, wheels and tracks.
- Expandable: Connect sensors and modules through the motor driver shield and sensor shield.
- Multiple controls: IR remote and app control for iOS and Android.
- Programming: C-language code in the Arduino IDE.
Specifications:
- Working voltage: 5v
- Input voltage: 7-12V
- Maximum output current: 2A
- Maximum power dissipation: 25W (T=75℃)
- Motor speed: 5V 200 rpm/min
- Motor drive mode: Dual H-bridge drive (L298P)
- Ultrasonic induction angle: <15 degrees
- Ultrasonic detection distance: 2cm-400cm
- Infrared remote control distance: 10 meters (measured)
- Bluetooth remote control distance: 50 meters (measured)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- 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.
- Power dissipation
- Power dissipation is electrical energy being turned into heat inside a component. It matters because too much heat can reduce efficiency, affect reliability, or require a larger component or better cooling.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
