The PicoGo is a smart mobile robot platform designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico. It integrates line-following, obstacle avoidance, ultrasonic ranging, object tracking, Bluetooth and IR remote control, an LCD display, and RGB LEDs — all on a single board with no messy external wiring.
Powered by two 14500 Li-ion batteries (not included), the PicoGo features comprehensive battery protection circuitry and supports programming and debugging while charging. A companion mobile app provides Bluetooth control of robot movement, LED colours, and the onboard buzzer.
Key Features
- 5-Channel IR Line Following – Analogue output with PID algorithm for stable tracking
- IR Obstacle Avoidance – Detects and avoids objects using reflected IR beams
- Ultrasonic Sensor – For ranging, obstacle avoidance, and object tracking
- Bluetooth Remote Control – Mobile app for movement, LED, and buzzer control
- IR Remote Control – Infrared receiver with included remote controller
- 1.14" IPS LCD – 240 × 135 pixel colour display, 65K colours
- N20 Metal Gear Motors – Low noise, high accuracy micro gearmotors
- RGB LEDs – Addressable colour lighting
- Battery Protection – Overcharge/discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, and reverse polarity protection
- Charge While Running – Supports simultaneous recharging and operation
Specifications
- Compatible Controller – Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040, dual-core Cortex-M0+, 133 MHz)
- Power – 2× 14500 Li-ion batteries (not included)
- Display – 1.14" IPS LCD, 240 × 135 px, 65K colours
- Line Following – 5-channel IR sensor, analogue output
- Remote Control – Bluetooth (via app) and IR (controller included)
- Motors – N20 micro gearmotors with metal gears
Warning — Li-ion Battery Safety: Li-ion batteries can cause fire, injury, or property damage if improperly used. Do not reverse polarity. Do not mix old and new batteries or different brands. Use only compatible 14500 cells from reputable manufacturers. Replace batteries after reaching their rated cycle life or after two years, whichever comes first. Keep batteries away from children, flammable materials, and heat sources.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IPS
- IPS is a type of LCD panel that keeps colours and contrast more consistent when viewed from an angle. This matters for small displays that may be mounted in a dashboard, handheld project, or enclosure where the viewer is not always looking straight on.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- 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.
- reverse polarity protection
- A circuit feature that helps protect the board if power is connected the wrong way around. It matters because it can reduce the chance of damaging the breakout during wiring mistakes, especially in classroom or prototyping use.
- 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.
- RP2040
- A microcontroller chip used on many maker boards, with enough speed and flexible I/O for some camera and display projects. Compatibility with RP2040 matters because camera modules often need many pins and careful timing to read image data successfully.
