Introduction Note: This product includes micro: Maqueen Plus v2 , Gravity: HUSKYLENS , and micro: bit V2 board . Batteries are not included. What’s new in Maqueen Plus V2? 1. Two versions to choose from: 4 AA battery and 18650 battery 2. New plastic box with a deeper base, enough room for the assembled car 3. Frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom, more durable and reliable 4. The number of Line-tracking sensors has changed from 6 to 5, more convenient to program and optimize line-tracking codes 5. Employs the motors whose parameters are the same as previous Maqueen, running steadily and smoothly 6. Changes ultrasonic sensor to SR04, easier to install 7. Add 4 RGB ambient lights at the base, RGB car lights have been changed to LEDs 8. Delete the less usable magnetic encoder Maqueen Plus V2 is the latest version of the STEAM educational robot Maqueen Plus. Optimized with more expansion ports, larger capacity power supply, and larger body, it is fully compatible with more peripheral components like HuskyLens AI camera, Maqueen Mechanic Kits, which makes it an accessible STEAM robot teaching tool for primary and secondary students. Maqueen Plus V2 is not only suitable for classroom teaching, but also can be used for after-school extended exercises and robot competitions. Besides all the functions of Maqueen Lite, it offers richer and more flexible functions and stronger performance. Whether you have ever used Maqueen Series products or not, you’ll find it very easy to get started. Features No complex assembly, get started in minutes More IO expansion ports: 3.3V IOx7, 5V IOx3, I2Cx3 5 line-tracking sensors, reliable and flexible Larger body, more flexible expansion methods Two versions to choose from: AA battery and 18650 battery AA battery version supports 1.2V Ni MH battery or 1.5V alkaline battery, while 18650 battery version supports 3.7V 18650 battery Works well with HuskyLens AI camera Rich peripherals: IR receiver, LED car lights, RGB ambient lights, buzzer, ultrasonic sensor, etc. Frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom Storage box with a deeper base to provide enough room for the assembled Maqueen Plus car Applications STEM Education Specification Power Supply:MBT0021-EN: 1.5V AA alkaline battery x 4 or 1.2V AA Ni-MH battery x 4 Support micro:bit V1 and V2 N20 All-metal Gear Motor x 2 Buzzer x 1 5V IO (P0 P1 P2) x 3 3.3V IO (P0 P1 P2 P8 P12 P13 P14 P15) 3.3V I2C x 2 5V I2C x 1 Large Size LED Car Lights x 2 RGB Ambient Lights x 4 Line-tracking Sensor x 5 Line-tracking Sensor with One-key Calibration IR Receiver x 1 SRO4 Ultrasonic Module x 1 Dimension: 136mm×65mm/5.35×2.56" Programming Platform: Mind+, MakeCode Wiki Address: MakeCode Library Address: https://github.com/DFRobot/pxt-DFRobot_MaqueenPlus_v20 Documents Product wiki 7 Visual Recognition projects Based on Robotics Platform Collection of micro:bit Projects and Tutorials ShippingList Maqueen Plus V2 (AA battery) Vehicle body x 1 (Note: the motor, vehicle wheel, support wheel, and battery panel have been installed before delivery) H-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor x 1 Line-tracking Map x 1 Gravity: HUSKYLENS - An Easy-to-use AI Machine Vision Sensor x 1 micro: bit board V2 x 1 Type-C & Micro 2-in-1 USB Cable x1
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- encoder
- A device attached to a motor or shaft that reports movement, such as rotation steps or position. In a pump system, an encoder can help measure or control how much the motor has turned, which affects how repeatable the watering amount can be.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- line-tracking sensor
- A line-tracking sensor detects contrast between a dark line and a lighter surface, usually using infrared light. It matters for robot activities where the robot follows a track, such as classroom challenges or competitions.
- Ni-MH battery
- A Ni-MH battery is a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery, often used as an alternative to disposable alkaline AA cells. It matters because rechargeable cells have a lower voltage per cell, so the product must explicitly support them to work reliably.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
