Cherokey: 4WD Mobile Robot for Arduino with L298 driver onboard - DFRobot ROB0102

The Cherokey 4WD mobile robot is a versatile mobile robot jeep compatible with the most popular microcontrollers like DFRduino UNO R3 - Arduino Compatible, Mega2560 (Arduino compatible microcontroller board), Romeo V2 - a Robot Control Board with Motor Driver (Compatible with Arduino)...etc. Cherokey embeded the L298P motor driver chip which allows to drive of two 6-12V DC motors with maximum 2A current.The integrated 2 way DC motor driver and Xbee & APC220 socket allows you to start your project immediately without the need for an additional motor driver or wirless shield.

The expansion plate board significantly increases the surface area of Cherokey, allowing you to easily connect a 9g micro servo or a standard sized servo in two different locations so that you can install robotic arm or ultrasonic/ir sensors. The prototyping area makes you convenient to install sensors on the robot. Double-side leaf pads solder prototyping areas in the middle can be soldered with DIP components or SMD components to extend addition function.

Its high-strength aluminum alloy body material provides flexibility in rapid movement particularly in outdoor grass, gravel, sand, or sloped surface. The Cherokey 4WD Mobile robot Platform is also suitable for robot competitions and research-related projects.
