Use this motor driver and power distribution board to get your Romi chassis running quickly. It offers all of the same features as the smaller Power Distribution board for Romi Chassis — battery contact slots, reverse voltage protection, several power switching options, and easy access to the various power busses — and adds a two-channel motor driver and powerful switching step-down regulator that can supply a continuous 2.5 A at 5 V or 3.3 V. Just add a microcontroller and sensors to complete your Romi robot.

This smart servo from XYZrobot was designed for their Bolide Y-01 Advanced Humanoid Robot, making it well suited for applications that require a lot of strong and complex actuation, such as humanoid robots, hexapod robots, and robotic arms. Unlike common RC hobby servos, these servos are capable of 360° continuous rotation while still offering position control over an effective range of 330°. They feature a TTL serial interface that is used to configure and control the servo and get feedback about position, speed, and temperature.

Note: This is not an RC servo and does not use the same protocol, so they will not work with standard RC receivers and servo controllers.

The FS90 analog servo from FEETECH is a great general-purpose micro servo at a great price. Servo horns and associated hardware are included.

Key specs at 6 V: 0.10 sec/60°, 21 oz-in (1.5 kg-cm), 9.0 g.

This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST’s VL53L0X laser-ranging sensor, which measures the range to a target object up to 2 m away. The VL53L0X uses time-of-flight measurements of infrared pulses for ranging, allowing it to give accurate results independent of the target’s color and surface. Distance measurements can be read through a digital I²C interface. The board has a 2.8 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.6 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.

These multi-color LEDs contain red, green, and blue (RGB) elements that can be mixed to produce different colors. The three color elements share a common anode and are encased in a diffused white lens that blends the colors and widens the viewing angle. This product is a pack of five (5) RGB LEDs.

This simple board breaks out all five pins of a USB Micro-B connector to a 0.1″ pin spacing that is compatible with standard perfboards, solderless breadboards, and 0.1″ connectors.
