OpenRobot v2, modular PCB system for electronics projects

  • 2 min

OpenRobot V2 is the second version of OpenRobot, a series of electronic boards for creating various projects and robots, especially designed for education.

OpenRobot V2 maintains the same goal as the first version: to provide a system that you can adapt to your project by choosing and assembling the components you want.

However, instead of being a single multipurpose PCB, OpenRobot v2 has a modular design. This allows for a higher degree of configuration for your projects and even reusing modules across different projects.

It is now possible to use different types of processors (Arduino Nano, ESP32…), different motor controllers (DC, Servo, Steppers), add I2C expansions…

Once assembled, OpenRobot allows you to build an almost unlimited number of projects without the need for soldering, wiring, or using a breadboard. You simply need to add or change the modules you assemble.

OpenRobot is compatible with a huge number of components, thanks to its multiple digital outputs, I2C, and UART at 3.3V and 5V. It is also compatible with different DC-DC converters, and various IMUs, including the popular MPU6050, MPU9050/9250 and L3GD20, as well as ultrasonic or analog distance sensors.

The OpenRobot design is intended for you to adapt it to your project simply by changing modules and components. Choose the type of MCU. Do you need a motor module? Do you want to add an Oled display? Do you want to add more outputs with an I2C expander? Play and enjoy the combinations.

What can I do with OpenRobot?

Almost any project you can imagine! Some examples are:

  • Robots with DC motors, such as obstacle detectors, maze solvers, line followers, self-balancers…
  • Robots with servos, like a 2-DOF turret, a light follower, a 6-DOF arm
  • Projects with high-power MOSFET outputs, such as lights, electromagnets, water pumps, Peltier plates, thermistors…
  • Projects with Bluetooth (HC-05/HC-06), like communication with a PC or Smartphone, beacons…
  • Projects with WiFi (ESP01), controlled via Web, MQTT, dataloggers, IoT…
  • Environmental stations measuring temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure (BME280)
