  • Great Robotics Car Platform
I'm a huge fan of the Omni Directional robot car that features a Banana Pi PicoW S3 from Adeept. This is my fourth or so Adeept Robot kit and like the others it was easy to follow the tutorials and get everything working. Features: - Banana Pi PicoW S3 (WIFI, Bluetooth) - Mecanum Wheels (allow for the omnidirectional movement) - 3 Line Finders (together as one unit to properly follow along a line -- ie 0 1 0 where each sensor detects the presence of the line) - Onboard buzzer - 4 servo controllers (uses 1 for the project to control the neck) - 4 WS2812 "Neopixels" - Ultrasonic module - LCD display - IR receiver and remote - LED Matrix This was my first use of a Banana Pi PicoW S3. It has an Espressif ESP32S3 on board. The board is setup to work with CircuitPython a flavor of python for microcontrollers. I did end up using Arduino with the board as well which I'll talk to later but CircuitPython makes it very easy to get started as it acts as a drive you can edit the code directly on. On top of that the popularity of the platform means a lot of additional libraries exist making upgrades feasible. In the associated zip for the car they have assemble instructions, lesson documents, and associated code for using each element of the car. The assembly is pretty straightforward just requiring some care when attaching the wheels as the configuration to work is described in the document and any other setup will cause the car to behave erratically (the wheels are the key to the omni-directional movement). The lessons are nice as you can see pretty easily how each of the individual elements come together to work. For example the line finder one is pretty useful as you can calibrate (via screws) each of the line finder units individually until you get it working great so you know later on the robot will be fine. In addition to the lessons and their code there is the robot control code. There's logic for the IR remote to control the car in each direction and also the ability to control the code over its own access point (it uses the ESP32S3 in access point mode). I was able to send commands to it to control via a socket connection which was neat. They have an app you can download to control the car as well via that connection. In addition I was able to modify the car myself to add some neat features. It wasn't too hard to add support for controlling the car via my voice using a offline voice recognition module over i2c. You'll want to make sure if connecting a cable to i2c you confirm the pinout of the sensor connecting. Pin 20 is SDA, Pin 21 SCL. For control of the car via Arduino there isn't a built in guide but if you're able to read the schematics it's not too difficult. Some things to keep in mind: you need to use tweezers to hit the boot solder points while pressing reset to program the board in Arduino (you can use the Espressif Arduino core), the board uses the generic "ESP32S3 Dev Module" within Arduino so you need to refer to the pins on the ESP32S3 vs the board pins when programming that way. So yeah, it's a great car with a lot of space for upgrading. The car is neat in regards to how you can control its direction. I'd highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Horrible.
Please note that all but one of the 5 star reviews of this kit, and all of the four star reviews are by Amazon Vine reviewers, who received their kits for free for review purposes. I purchased one of these kits for myself, and built another for one of my students. I’ve also built three Adeept Raspberry Pi Pico Smart Car kits for my students. I’ve already submitted my review of the Smart Car Kit. As I stated in that review, I will never again purchased anything from this company. This kit is loaded with unpleasant surprises. Surprise #1. The app mentioned in the listing is not compatible with Apple phones. Unfortunately, this is something the maker does not disclose until you download the instructions from their website. Surprise #2. The app is not available from the Android Play Store. Instead, you must sideload the app. This requires you to disable your phone’s security, download the apk file from Adeept’s website and then figure out how to install the app. Again, this is not something disclosed in their listing. Moreover, the process for sideloading the apk file and installing the app is not described by Adeept. Surprise #3. If an Android app is not made available from the Play Store, the creator is not required to ensure that the app is compatible with the most recent versions of Android. Therefore, you will be surprised when Android refuses to install the app because it is outdated and not compatible with your recent version of Android. Surprise #4. I successfully installed the app on an older version of Android, and I couldn’t get it to work. Surprise #5. The Banana Pi Pico came with Circuit Python preinstalled. This is a surprise in and of itself, because the listing clearly states that the kit uses MicroPython. I am fairly proficient with MicroPython, but not Circuit Python. Surprise #6. Given what I have said above, you are on your own if you want to use this robot over WiFi. I tried to figure out how to create my own Circuit Python program to control the robot wirelessly, without any success. Trying to replace Circuit Python with MicroPython was fruitless. In the end, I removed the Banana Pi Pico W and replaced it with a Raspberry Pi Pico W. Finally, I was able to create my own program to control the robot through a web interface, as well as controlling it using UDP. Surprise #7. The dot matrix display simply would not work with a Raspberry Pi Pico W and MicroPython. I was able to purchase other dot matrix displays which are fully compatible with Raspberry Pi and MicroPython. Basically, if I wasn’t already familiar with Raspberry Pi Pico W and MicroPython, there is no way I would have been able to make this robot operate over WiFi or install a functioning dot matrix display. There are much better robotics kits available on Amazon, and they provide excellent instructions and support. These include kits by SunFounder and Elecfreaks. This is a horrible kit, and I will never again waste my money on another kit by Adeept. ... show more

  • Fairly Advanced STEM kit, but very well done, highly educational
This robot car kit is geared toward the intermediate-to-advanced STEM student, but is an excellent kit. It’s quite an involved build process (lots of small screws, etc.), but the directions and tutorials are excellent (but you have to download them – PDF only). No soldering is required, everything is plug-and-socket. For more intermediate students, the build tutorial takes you through how each part works on its own, partly for testing the part, and partly for learning in general, as you assemble it. There is a lot of coding (all Python), but all of it is pre-written for you. This is where advanced students will like this kit, because they will be able to change or edit any of the code as they like. A few things to note about this kit: The picture shows yellow wheels, but my wheels were all black. It does come with the two 18650 batteries you need, even though the Amazon page doesn’t say so. It takes almost a full day to assemble, following the tutorials, but it’s totally worth it. The mecanum wheels can move directly side ways (left-right) without having to go forward while turning. It’s really an interesting sight, and an ingenious invention. There is also an app, so you can drive this robot from your phone or tablet, instead of the IR remote, or letting it run on its own (obstacle avoidance, or line-follow modes). It also comes with two “faces” that you can build. One with an ultrasonic range sensor, the other with an LED matrix display (both shown on sellers page). Overall, my kids and I had a lot of fun building this. Well, I probably had more of the building fun, they have more fun playing with it! It’s a great kit, definitely worth 5 stars! ... show more

  • A big project. A few misses, but there's a lot well done.
This is a solid kit, and I feel a more than good price. I estimate around 70-80 usd worth of parts (maybe 50-60 from ali...). The instructions and projects (20+ lessons) are extensive, and very microcontroller programming focused. The only lacking component seems to be a battery charger. I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the docs, nor did I find a charger chip on the circuit board. You'll have to buy an 18650 charger separately for continued use (they came with a good charge at least). We built most of the project in a long afternoon. The parts are all drawn up in CAD with clear diagrams, and instructions were clear. The 5.5/4mm wrench kind of sucks, but the screwdrivers are adequate. The biggest lack in the build instructions was cable routing. It's clear where the cables plug, but it's not illustrated how they route through the chassis holes so we ended up disassembling a bit to get them right. The lessons as written start from working with a basic REPL, and running code directly on the microcontroller. My pupil wasn't ready to approach that so we jumped ahead to loading code onto the controller. The included instructions were a bit confusing since they differ from the default file names, and what CircuitPython seems to have settled on. If you stick to them they work though. It was also important to eject the device to ensure the files get written properly when loading code. So far all of the components have worked as expected. The chassis design is strong, and it gets around most surfaces without trouble. ... show more

  • Buy Raspberry Pi version instead
Banana Pi S3 version is half-baked. I spent days figuring out why the distance module (lesson 04) would not work. Surely it had to be something I did. Nope, bad code. Looked at the Raspberry Pi code, that made sense. 5-star reviewers, let me see your output on lesson 04! The stuff is really neat, I expect the Raspberry Pi version would be really fun. ... show more

  • Very fun, super rewarding once its 'ALIVE'!
Having designed and built racing drones for a few year I picked this kit up thinking it would be a fun 2 hour project... It was certainly a lot of fun, but it was Not a 2 hour project. haha I've done a LOT of kit builds off amazon over the years, and many of them are not the greatest, this kit by far exceeds any other kit I've built. First off, the directions are extremely detailed (assembly alone is 32 pages long). Not only giving assembly instructions but also giving a nice explanation of each of the part, why they are used, how they work, and even a bit of information of other options and why they didn't use them. This is easily one the the best parts about this build for me. Far too often I have found myself saying... Well why did they do it that way? This kit answered all of those questions and many more. I but about an hour a day into this kit for a total of 12 days to put together. That said, I also went through and read nearly every bit of information describing the parts in detail as well. How do I know if this kit is for me? Are you naturally curious? Have an engineering mindset? Excited about programming or robotics? Bored, have a week's time and itching to learn something new? This is probably the kit for you. If you have a child that you are considering this for, I would say, be prepared to assist and learn as you go unless they are really into robotics, raspberry pi and programming and have a firm grasp already. If you are expecting this to be a short 2-3 hour build where you don't have to learn anything, this is likely not something you will enjoy. For the first group, I would highly recommend this kit ... show more

  • Fun build but didn't work with missing part
I thought this could be a fun project for my daughter and I, and indeed it provided a few hours of father daughter bonding time. It took about 3 hours total for us to put it together and for the most part it was a fun experience. A word of warning, bring your patience and steady hands as there are many parts to assemble and lots of tiny fasteners - I even impressed myself by not losing any. This is the first I've encountered Mecanum wheels and what an awesome invention. Unfortunately that's where the fun ended. My package was missing the ESP-01 module. I had searched the box and under and around the desk where we assembled the car but no luck. I decided to try it without that module anyway. I charged up the included 18650 batteries and inserted them into the car, unfortunately nothing happened, and that concluded our adventure with the car. ... show more

This is a really really cool kit - easy to put together, but still fascinating. Unfortunately there were some parts missing so we couldn't complete it.
