BoosterBot

A BoosterPack that turns your TI Launchpad into a fully functional robot!

The BoosterBot attaches underneath any 40-pin Launchpad to give it batteries, wheels, and access to a bunch of sensors; perfect for anyone who wants to get started with MSP430 and robotics, or just wants an easy to use robotics platform to build off of.

Features

  • Micro Metal Gearmotors from Pololu
  • Powered by 3xAAA batteries
  • Five QRE1113 Reflectance sensors for line following and maze solving
  • Header for a Sharp IR distance sensor
  • Header for a servo
  • Compatible with other BoosterPacks, including the FuelTank battery BoosterPack

Questions

How big is the Robot boosterpack PCB?

It measures 60 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Robot boosterpack use?

62 parts, built around the DRV8833PW, LMR61428, TPS77033DBV and TPS77050DBV. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Robot boosterpack KiCad files?

From the Hylian/BoosterBot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/robot-boosterpack.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Robot boosterpack design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Hylian before reusing the design.
