[Discontinued] InstaBots Self-Balancing Robot v2

Description:

Robotics and Arduino are two peas in a pod, but for many of us they seem like difficult concepts to grasp. The truth of the matter is that you can make a robot or Arduino project as sophisticated as you can imagine, but these projects should also be fun and come from a simple start. This is the thinking behind the SainSmart InstaBots product line.

With SainSmart InstaBots Upright Rover Kit we aimed to create something that beginners and experts could both enjoy. SainSmart InstaBots Upright Rover Kit provide all the parts and easy-to-follow instructions, you provide the final result.

The beauty of SainSmart InstaBots Upright Rover Kit is that it is totally customizable; it starts from our design but can become something totally your own. Add sensors, cameras or any other parts and pieces you can think of. Designed by our top product engineers and approved by beginner enthusiasts, SainSmart InstaBots Upright Rover Kit leaves no room for excuses.

What’s new?

With the LCD on the controller, now you can see the gesture and the PID values of the robot without the USB cable by pressing the button on the joystick_1 to change what values you want to see. What’s more, the transmitter has 8 channels so you can edit the code yourself to transmit everything you want.

New codes for the robot make it more safety and stable. If it falls down when adjusting the PID values, you don’t need to press reset button but just put it back to the right position and it will restart itself.

A brand new shield which you can easily connect sensors like MPU6050, servos and SR04 on it.

Make it simple, make it complex, make it yours.
