Overview

Introduction

The smart robot has always been the favorite project of electronic enthusiasts, and there've been several robots based on Raspberry Pi Zero W, 3B+, and 4B in Waveshare's product line. Now, here comes the Pico version: PicoGo!
The PicoGo is a smart mobile robot based on Raspberry Pi Pico, it includes an ultrasonic module, LCD module, Bluetooth module, line following module, and obstacle avoidance module, all these functions are highly integrated for easily achieving IR obstacle avoidance, auto line following, Bluetooth/IR remote control, and more. With various advanced features, it will help you quickly get started with smart robot design and development.

Features

  • Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series.
  • Battery protection circuit: overcharge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, reverse proof, more stable and safe operating.
  • Recharge/Discharge circuit, allows programming/debugging concurrently while recharging.
  • 5-ch infrared sensor, analog output, combined with PID algorithm, stable line tracking.
  • Onboard multiple smart robot sensors like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, and no more messy wiring.
  • 1.14inch IPS colorful LCD display, 240 x 135 pixels, 65K colors.
  • Integrates Bluetooth module allows teleoperations like robot movement, RGB LED display color, buzzer, etc. by using mobile phone APP.
  • N20 micro gear motors, with metal gears, low noise, and high accuracy.
  • Colorful RGB LED, pretty cool!

Tips

  • Support 3.7V 14500 rechargeable batteries.
  • When installing the batteries, please pay attention to the orientation of the poles labeled on the battery box.
  • The warning indicator will be on and the self-recovery fuse will be overheated severely if the batteries are connected reversely. It is necessary to replace and correct the orientation of batteries immediately.
  • You need to connect the power to Picogo to activate the batteries if you change batteries, otherwise, the Picogo cannot be powered normally.
  • Connect USB power to the Picogo or turn on the power switch, the power indicator, and battery indicator will always be on. After disconnecting the USB cable and turning off the switch, the power indicator (red light) will turn off, and the battery indicators (yellow-green light) will be off after a while, press the key and the battery indicator will be on for a while and then turn off.
  • The onboard infrared obstacle avoidance sensor, RGB LED, and motor all need a 5V power supply. If you don't turn on the power switch and only connect to the USB power supply, these functions will not work normally.
  • The yellow and green LED indicators are the power indicator. When only one LED indicator flashes, it indicates that the battery is low and needs to be connected to the power supply for charging.
  • Some demos will call other modules. The sample demo must be saved to Raspberry Pi Pico before running, otherwise, the running demo may show that the corresponding module cannot be found.
  • After Pico is started, it will automatically run the main.py demo. If you need the PicoGo to start the corresponding demo, you need to save the demo as a main.py file.
