GoPiGo Beginner Starter Kit

The GoPiGo Beginner Starter Kit by Dexter Industries is an all - in - one robotics kit powered by the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Whether you're a parent seeking a cool weekend project with your child, a teacher aiming to boost student interest in science, or a grad student in need of a mobile robotics research platform, the GoPiGo is perfect for you. Assembly takes just about 30 minutes, so you can start using your new robot right after getting it. Built with thick acrylic, stronger metal brackets, this robot can withstand bumps and falls. The included GoPiGo board allows you to connect up to five sensors, two servos, and a camera. The motors have built - in encoders for precise control. The accompanying DexterOS software comes with dozens of free lessons to teach you to program the GoPiGo in Bloxter, a Scratch - like drag - and - drop language. No need to download or install software on your device. The kit includes a GoPiGo3 Base Kit, Raspberry Pi 3 B+, GoPiGo Servo Package, Distance Sensor, microSD Card with pre - loaded DexterOS, 8GB USB Drive, and a Power Supply. The only thing you need to provide are eight AA - sized batteries, as they're not included.

Using the GoPiGo Beginner Starter Kit is easy. First, assemble the kit which should take around 30 minutes. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. After assembly, insert the microSD card with pre - loaded DexterOS into the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. You can start programming the GoPiGo using the built - in lessons in DexterOS. Connect sensors, servos, and a camera as needed for your project. When using the robot, be aware that it can handle bumps and falls, but try to avoid extreme impacts. For maintenance, keep the robot clean and free from dust. Check the motors and sensors regularly for any signs of wear. Remember, you'll need to supply eight AA - sized batteries to power the kit.
