The Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch is a compact, solid-state power switch that features built-in reverse-voltage protection and is controlled by a momentary pushbutton: one push turns on power and another push turns it off. This is a patented design initially created for use in our own products as a..
Description: The A-Star 32U4 Robot Controller LV with Raspberry Pi Bridge is a
programmable module well-suited for robotics applications, designed to
work either as an auxiliary controller mounted to a Raspberry Pi or as a
standalone control solution for a small robot. This A-Star (abbreviated
..
Description: The GP2Y0A60SZ distance sensor from Sharp offers a wide detection range of 4″ to 60″ (10cm to 150cm) and a high update rate of 60 Hz. The distance is indicated by an analog voltage, so only a single analog input is required to interface with the module. The sensor ships installed on a c..
Description: This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST’s VL6180X proximity and ambient light sensor, which measures distance with 1 mm resolution over a detection range of 0 cm to 10 cm or greater. The VL6180X uses time-of-flight measurements of infrared pulses to determine the range to a targe..
Pololu 5V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U1V10F5 generates higher output voltages from input voltages as low as 0.5 V, and it also automatically switches to a linear down-regulation mode when the input voltage exceeds the output. This makes it great for powering 5 V electronics projects from 1 to 3 NiMH,..
Description: The Pololu QTR-1A reflectance sensor carries a single infrared LED and phototransistor pair. The phototransistor is connected to a pull-up resistor to form a voltage divider that produces an analog voltage output between 0 V and VIN (which is typically 5 V) as a function of the reflecte..
Description: This Zumo robot is a low-profile tracked robot platform intended for use with an Arduino (or compatible device, such as an A-Star 32U4 Prime) as its main controller. It measures less than 10 cm on each side and weighs approximately 300 g with an Arduino Uno and batteries (165 g without,..
Description: This is a bulk-packaged version of Pololu's Black Edition A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier that ships with 0.1″-pitch male header pins installed as shown in the main product picture, so no soldering is required to use it with an appropriate 16-pin socket or solderless breadboard. ..
Pololu Adjustable 9-30V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V50AHV efficiently boosts input voltages as low as 2.9V to a higher, adjustable output voltage between 9V and 30V while allowing an input current as high as 5A. These adjustable boost (step-up) voltage regulators generate higher output voltages fro..
Description: The Pololu high-power motor driver is a discrete MOSFET H-bridge designed to drive large DC brushed motors. The H-bridge is made up of one N-channel MOSFET per leg, and most of the board’s performance is determined by these MOSFETs (the rest of the board contains the circuitry to take u..
These universal aluminum mounting hubs allow you to mount custom wheels and mechanisms to 3 mm diameter motor shafts. The set includes two hubs, two #4-40 set screws for securing the hubs to motor shafts, and one 0.05″ Allen wrench for use with the set screws. Each hub has four threaded mounting hol..
The D24V5Fx family of buck (step-down) voltage regulators generates lower output voltages from input voltages as high as 36 V. They are switching regulators (also called switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters) and have a typical efficiency between 80% to 93%, which is much more e..
Description:The Pololu A-Star 32U4 Micro is a general-purpose programmable module based on Atmel’s ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller, which has 32 KB of flash program memory, 2.5 KB of RAM, and built-in USB functionality. Onboard features of the A-Star (abbreviated A*) include a 16 MHz resonator, a USB..
Description: The qik 2s9v1 is Pololu’s second-generation dual serial motor controller. The compact module allows any microcontroller or computer with a serial port (external RS-232 level converter required) or USB-to-serial adapter to easily drive two small, brushed DC motors with full direction ..
Description: This combination deal contains the basic parts you need to go wireless with your Arduino. It consists of one Wixel shield for Arduino, two Wixel modules and one 6’ USB A to mini-B cable for connecting the Wixels to a computer.
The Pololu Wixel is a general-purpose programmable module f..
