Everything you need (besides the Jetson Nano) to build NVIDIA's JetBot — an open-source AI robot platform. This parts pack includes the motor driver, motors, wheels, and a handy PiOLED display to get your JetBot rolling.
The included DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing provides I2C control for two brushed DC motors, while the 128×32 PiOLED snaps onto the Jetson's GPIO header to display IP addresses, stats, or custom information.
Key Features
- DC Motor FeatherWing – I2C motor driver for 2 brushed DC motors
- PiOLED Display – 128×32 monochrome OLED with right-angle header mount
- TT Motors – 200RPM gearbox motors (3–6V DC)
- Grippy Wheels – 60mm diameter skinny TT motor wheels
Ideal For
- Building the NVIDIA JetBot AI robot
- Robotics and AI experimentation
- Computer vision and autonomous navigation projects
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing
- 1× Adafruit PiOLED (128×32 monochrome OLED)
- 5× Break-away 0.1" 2×36-pin right-angle male headers
- 2× DC gearbox motors ("TT Motors", 200RPM, 3–6V DC)
- 2× Skinny TT motor wheels (60mm diameter)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- FeatherWing
- A FeatherWing is an add-on board made to plug into the Feather microcontroller board layout. Knowing a product is a FeatherWing helps you check whether it will physically and electrically fit your Feather-style mainboard.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- 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.
- 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.
- OLED
- OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, a display type where each pixel produces its own light. It matters because OLED screens are thin, high-contrast and easy to read for small status displays, but they can be more sensitive to image burn-in than some other display types.
