MinSegMega V4 (New!)
$ 95.00 $ 175.00
MinSegMega V4 Lab Kit Includes:
- MinSegMega V4 Board: Arduino Compatible Mega 2560 (compatible with Arduino IDE)
- Supports 2 motors and 2 encoders
- DRV8833 motor driver
- MPU6050 3-axis accelerometer 3-axis gyro, temperature sensor
- Potentiometer for user input
- Bluetooth Header for plug in bluetooth module
- Header for ultrasonic sensor
- I2C header and other headers for additional sensors
- User Input button and output LED
- NXT DC Motor with Encoder and wheels OR optional 2 N20 microgear motors for the ability do drive and steer! (Note this style NXT motor is no longer available, new or like new refurbished NXT motors used based on availability)
- 6AA (9v) battery holder and included battery cover
- Retractable USB Cable
- Project Box
Note there are two versions available:
1. Atmega16u2 for USB serial conversion - this is the standard Arduino converter. It will show up as Arduino Mega in the Device manager and "Automatic" can be used in Simulink.
2. CH340 hardware based USB serial converter. This version shows up as "CH340 SERIAL" in device manager and the COM port must be specified in Simulink.
A serial port driver may need to be installed so your computer will recognize this Arduino board: Serial Port Driver
