Following their successful Kickstarter campaign, Team Laika has licenced Pimoroni to sell their excellent robotics board, the Laika Explorer. This board has the following:
- 2x analogue and 4x digital inputs – to connect sensors, switches and other input devices.
- 7x digital outputs – to control LEDs, motors, sounders and other output devices.
- 2x H-Bridge motor driver circuit – to allow two motors to be driven in forward, reverse or brake, ideal for creating robots and buggies.
- 4x built-in switches – to allow convenient interaction between hardware and software.
- 7x indicator LEDs – present on each digital output for easy diagnostics.
It’s selling for £35 which I reckon is a bargain considering. It connects via USB, leaving all your GPIO ports on the Pi free.
