Keyestudio STEM Self-Balancing Robot Car Kit for Arduino

Master the Art of Balance Challenge yourself with the Keyestudio Self-Balancing Robot. This DIY kit allows you to build a two-wheeled robot that stays upright on its own, similar to a Segway. Based on the Arduino development platform, this robot uses a UNO R3 compatible board as its core and a specialized Balance Shield equipped with a built-in MPU-6050 sensor (gyroscope and accelerometer) to detect body posture and maintain perfect stability.

Wireless App Control (Android) Take control of your robot wirelessly! The Balance Shield features a Bluetooth interface compatible with standard Bluetooth modules.

  • Android App: Control the movement and direction of the car using the dedicated Android App.

  • Dual Modes: The app supports both standard Key control (buttons) and Gravity control (tilting your phone to steer).

  • PID Tuning: For advanced users, the app allows you to adjust the balance angle and PID parameters to fine-tune the robot's performance.

Technical Highlights

  • Powerful Drive: Uses the TB6612FNG motor drive chip for efficient performance.

  • Precision Sensing: Relies on the MPU-6050 6-axis motion tracking device for accurate posture detection.

  • Expansion Ready: The shield allows for easy connection of Bluetooth modules (XBee form factor).
