DFROBOT Insectbot Kit is a kit to experiment with robotics and Arduino programming. |
The Insect Bot mini is an easy to assemble robot for young engineers from 6 to 100. With assembling this robot you will learn the basic robotics in terms of how all the components work together. There is a microcontroller which is working as the robot brain and two servo motors for the movement. The IR sensor on it's head will act as an eye to detect obstacles in front.
Assembling parts. The brain of Insectbot is "world's smallest Leonardo", a.k.a. Beetle. It is ideal for DIY projects, wearable projects and etc. Its body is made up of?two 9-gram servos powered by a rechargable 3.7V LiPo battery. Its eyes are an infrared sensor to detect obstacles. It requires no special tools except a soldering iron, scissors, screwdriver, pliers. You can?decorate your Insectbot Mini to give him a unique, cute or funny Christmas outfit.?We also provide a step-by-step instruction to help you assemble it.Beetle and Beetle Shield
Programming for Insectbot. We provide 3 programming languages for you such as Ardublock, Mind+ and Arduino IDE. For beginners, you can program it simply by dragging and dropping pre-designed blocks visa visual programming softwares Ardublock and Mind+. For advanced DIYers, you also modify Arduino IDE for your liking.Programming Insectbot with ArdublockProgramming Insectbot with Arduino IDE
Tools Needed: Soldering iron, Scissors, Screwdriver, Pliers. Note: tools are not included in the kit. Check this guide if your sensor wiring is switched.
