The Cherokey 4WD Basic Arduino Robot Kit is an ideal wheeled robot platform for building your own Arduino - based robot. With simple hardware assembly and software tuning, you'll quickly learn about Arduino, robotics, sensors, Bluetooth communication, obstacle avoidance, and remote control. You can even customize it with your own code using the ultrasonic sensor, Romeo (All - in - one Bluetooth Microcontroller), IR sensors, and LEDs. This versatile mobile robot platform is compatible with popular microcontrollers like Arduino Uno, Mega2560, Romeo, and Raspberry Pi. It has an embedded L298P motor driver chip that can drive two 6 - 12V DC motors with up to 2A current. The integrated 2 - way DC motor driver and Xbee & APC220 socket let you start your project right away without extra motor drivers or wireless shields. The expansion plate increases the surface area, allowing easy connection of a 9g micro servo or a standard - sized servo in two locations for robotic arm or sensor installation. The prototyping area simplifies sensor installation, and the double - side leaf pads solder prototyping areas in the middle can be used to add DIP or SMD components for extra functions. Its high - strength aluminum alloy body provides flexibility on various terrains like outdoor grass, gravel, sand, or slopes. It's also great for robot competitions and research projects. Thanks to Romeo BLE, you can control it via an APP on your IOS device. Just download the GoBLE APP and enjoy!

Using the Cherokey 4WD Arduino Basic Robot Building Kit is easy. First, assemble the hardware according to the instruction manual. Connect the motors, sensors, and other components step - by - step. Then, use the provided example code to start tuning the software. Once you're familiar with the basic functions, you can start writing your own code to customize the robot's behavior. When using the robot, make sure to use the recommended input voltage between 7 - 12V to avoid damaging the controller. The ultrasonic sensor has a normal detecting range of 4cm - 3m, but the actual range may vary. When installing the servos or sensors on the expansion plate, be careful not to over - tighten the screws as it may damage the parts. For maintenance, keep the robot clean. If it's used on outdoor terrains, clean the wheels and the body regularly to prevent dirt and debris from affecting its performance. Also, check the connections of the components from time to time to ensure they are secure. If you want to use the APP control feature on your IOS device, just download the GoBLE APP and pair it with the robot's Romeo BLE controller.
