Pololu Wheel 90 mm × 10 mm – Black

These black plastic wheels have silicone tires and measure 90 mm (3.54 inches) in diameter, and they press-fit onto the 3mm D shafts on many of our motors, including our micro metal gearmotors and our mini plastic gearmotors. Additionally, this wheel is compatible with several of our universal mounting hubs, which can serve as adapters for motors with different shafts. Six mounting holes for #4 or M3 screws make it possible to use the wheel with any of our universal mounting hubs for those screw sizes, enabling these wheels to be used with our larger metal gearmotors and stepper motors. The included silicone tires, which feature horizontal treads for improved traction.

Pololu Ball Caster with 1 Inch Plastic Ball and Ball Bearings

This ball caster uses a 1 inch diameter plastic ball and has an overall height of 1.1 inches (29 mm). The two-part housing snaps together to securely enclose the ball and three ball bearings that minimize friction between the ball and the ABS housing.

This ball caster kit includes a two-part black ABS housing, a 1 inch diameter POM plastic ball, three 3 mm × 7 mm × 3 mm ball bearings, and three dowel pins used to hold the ball bearings. When assembled, the ball caster is capable of rolling in any direction with low friction, making it suitable for use as a third contact point for wheeled, differential-drive robots weighing up to around ten pounds.

The base piece of the housing has holes for three mounting screws and slots for ball bearings. The second part of the housing snaps into the base piece to secure the ball and ball bearings. The assembled ball caster has an overall height of 1.1 inches (29 mm).

Perforated Phenolic Plate

So you finish your electronics projects, such as printed circuits. We know that designing a prototype or electronic project can be a complicated task if you do not have the necessary items to carry it out, so with us you it a phenolic plates of a face, two sided or perforated, ferric chloride, auto-adherable tracks, leaves thermal transfer or permanent ink markers so that your circuits are perfect.

Steren Model 155

Bakelite phenolic plate with copper, 4.5 cm x 4.5 cm, engraved and perforated with 164 orifices for components and 4 for fixing the plate. Ideal for projects or prototypes.

USB/DC Lithium Polymer Battery Charger 5-12V – 3.7/4.2v Cells

Charge your single-cell lithium ion/polymer battery any which way you like with this board. Other nice things about this charger include multiple LEDs for power & charging status, including a charging LED which will blink when the battery is full. If the charger gets too hot from high-speed charging, it will slow down the charge rate automatically. You can easily adjust the charge rate up to 1.2A or down to 100mA. For use with Adafruit Lipoly/LiIon batteries only. Other batteries may have different voltage, chemistry, polarity or pinout.

  • Use USB or DC power – 5 to 12V input
  • Charges one single-cell 3.7/4.2v batteries with constant current/constant voltage
  • Three indicator LEDs – green for Power, orange for charging and red for error
  • Charging LED will blink when the battery is full
  • 2 JST connections so you can keep the battery plugged in and powering your project
  • Terminal block connections galore just solder in 3.5mm terminal blocks
  • Default charge rate is about 500mA, but you can easily change this by soldering in a through-hole resistor on. The chip can do 100-1200 mA charging
  • Safety timer will stop charging after about 14 hours
  • The chip supports a standard 10K thermistor, which we have stuffed as a standard resistor. You can solder in a thermistor easily

DC Motor

A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical motors that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.

DC motors were the first form of motor widely used, as they could be powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor’s speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings. Small DC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal motor can operate on direct current but is a lightweight brushed motor used for portable power tools and appliances. Larger DC motors are currently used in propulsion of electric vehicles, elevator and hoists, and in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent of power electronics has made replacement of DC motors with AC motors possible in many applications.

Stepper Motor

A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor’s position can be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any position sensor for feedback, as long as the motor is correctly sized to the application in respect to torque and speed. Switched reluctance motors are very large stepping motors with a reduced pole count, and generally are closed-loop commutated.

EasyDriver – Stepper Motor Driver

The EasyDriver is a simple to use stepper motor driver, compatible with anything that can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse. The EasyDriver requires a 6V to 30V supply to power the motor and can power any voltage of stepper motor. The EasyDriver has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface that can be set to 5V. Connect a 4-wire stepper motor and a microcontroller and you’ve got precision motor control! EasyDriver drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar.

Joystick

A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. A joystick, also known as the control column, is the principal control device in the cockpit of many civilian and military aircraft, either as a centre stick or side-stick. It often has supplementary switches to control various aspects of the aircraft’s flight.

Pololu Adjustable Step-Up Voltage Regulator U1V11A

This compact U1V11A switching step-up voltage regulator efficiently boosts input voltages as low as 0.5 V to an adjustable output voltage between 2 V and 5.25 V. Unlike most boost regulators, the U1V11A offers a true shutdown option that turns off power to the load, and it automatically switches to a linear down-regulation mode when the input voltage exceeds the output.

Serial

Used for communication between the Arduino board and a computer or other devices. All Arduino boards have at least one serial port, and some have several. Fio v3 ATmega32U4 board, Serial1 pins, 0(RX), 1(TX). On Fio v3 ATmega32U4, pins 0 and 1 are used for communication with the computer. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with that communication, including causing failed uploads to the board. You can use the Arduino environment’s built-in serial monitor to communicate with an Arduino board. Click the serial monitor button in the toolbar and select the same baud rate used in the call to begin(). Serial communication on pins TX/RX uses TTL logic levels 3.3V . Don’t connect these pins directly to an RS232 serial port, they operate at +/- 12V and can damage your Arduino board.

Fio v3 – ATmega32U4

The Fio v3 is a new spin on the Arduino Fio hardware powered by the ATmega32U4.Not only is it small and LiPo-ready, it’s a very capable XBee-ready development board. The JST-connector and 3.3v system voltage make this a great development tool for portable devices, simply plug in a Li-Poly battery and you’re ready to go. Wireless sensor networks and communication are made easy by the on-board XBee socket.

The ATmega32U4, running at 8MHz, makes it possible for you to use the on-board USB jack not only to charge a connected Li-Poly battery but to actually program the device. Because this board uses a similar bootloader to the one on the Pro Micro, you will need to download and install the special software driver below. There’s also a board definition add-on for the Arduino IDE which will add support for this board.

SparkFun XBee Explorer Regulated

SparkFun Item: WRL-11373

The SparkFun XBee Explorer Regulated takes care of the 3.3V regulation, signal conditioning, and basic activity indicators. It translates the 5V serial signals to 3.3V so that you can connect a 5V (down to 3.3V) system to any XBee module. The board was conveniently designed to mate directly with the SparkFun Arduino Pro series of boards for wireless bootloading and USB based configuration.
