Product Details
This amazing product combines the micro: Maqueen Plus v2, Gravity: HUSKYLENS, and micro: bit V2 board. Please note that batteries are not included. The Maqueen Plus V2 comes with several exciting upgrades. It offers two power options: 4 AA batteries or a 18650 battery. It has a new plastic box with a deeper base, providing ample space for the assembled car. The bottom features a frosted acrylic protective plate, making it more durable. The number of line - tracking sensors has been reduced from 6 to 5, simplifying programming. It uses motors with the same parameters as the previous Maqueen for stable running. The ultrasonic sensor has been changed to SR04 for easier installation. There are 4 RGB ambient lights added at the base, and the RGB car lights are now LEDs. The less - used magnetic encoder has been removed. As the latest version of the STEAM educational robot Maqueen Plus, it is optimized with more expansion ports, a larger - capacity power supply, and a bigger body. It is perfectly compatible with peripheral components like the HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic kits, making it an ideal STEAM teaching tool for primary and secondary students. It's suitable for classroom teaching, after - school exercises, and robot competitions. It offers all the functions of Maqueen Lite, plus richer and more flexible features and stronger performance, and is easy to get started with. Key features include no complex assembly, getting you up and running in minutes. It has more IO expansion ports: 7 x 3.3V IO, 3 x 5V IO, and 3 x I2C. The 5 line - tracking sensors are reliable and flexible. With a larger body, it has more flexible expansion methods. It works well with the HuskyLens AI camera and comes with rich peripherals such as an IR receiver, LED car lights, RGB ambient lights, a buzzer, and an ultrasonic sensor. Applications mainly focus on STEM Education. Specifications include a power supply of MBT0021 - EN - 18650: 1 x 18650 Lithium battery (3.6V or 3.7V), an onboard charging circuit, MicroUSB and TYPE - C charging interfaces, and a 4 - hour full - charge time. It supports micro:bit V1 and V2. The shipping list includes 1 x Maqueen Plus V2 (18650 battery) Vehicle body (with motor, vehicle wheel, support wheel, and battery panel pre - installed), 1 x H - SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor, 1 x Line - tracking Map, 1 x Gravity: HUSKYLENS - An Easy - to - use AI Machine Vision Sensor, 1 x micro: bit V2 board, and 1 x Type - C & Micro 2 - in - 1 USB Cable.
Using this Maqueen Plus V2 is a breeze. First, if you're using the 18650 battery, make sure to insert it properly into the battery panel. Then, connect the micro: bit V2 board to the Maqueen Plus V2. You can start programming right away using platforms like Mind+ or MakeCode. The provided line - tracking map is great for testing the line - tracking sensors. To use the HuskyLens AI camera, just connect it to the expansion ports and start exploring its visual recognition features. When it comes to charging, you can use either the MicroUSB or TYPE - C charging interfaces. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the 18650 battery. Remember, batteries are not included, so you'll need to get them separately. As for maintenance, keep the frosted acrylic protective plate clean. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft cloth to wipe it. Avoid exposing the robot to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery to prevent any potential damage. Also, when programming, start with simple codes and gradually build up to more complex ones. The Maqueen Plus V2 is a fun and educational tool, so have a great time exploring its features!
