TLDR

An Arduino-compatible development board that adds built-in motor drivers, motion sensing, and Bluetooth to a standard Arduino UNO, so hobbyists can build robots on one board instead of stacking add-ons.

What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Build a Bluetooth-controlled robot car with built-in motion tracking on a single board.

USE CASE 2

Add motor control and motion sensing to an Arduino project without wiring separate add-on boards.

USE CASE 3

Use existing Arduino tutorials and libraries unchanged since the board stays fully compatible.

USE CASE 4

Manufacture your own board using the included PCB design files.

What is it built with?

How do you get it running?

Difficulty · moderate

Requires setting up the Arduino IDE to recognize the board and, if building your own, sending the included design files to a PCB manufacturer.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Show me how to set up the Arduino IDE to recognize the Roboard-Pro board and upload a basic motor control sketch.
Prompt 2
Write Arduino code for Roboard-Pro that reads the built-in MPU6050 motion sensor and prints acceleration data over serial.
Prompt 3
How do I control Roboard-Pro's two integrated motor drivers to build a simple two-wheel robot car?
Prompt 4
Explain how to send Roboard-Pro's PCB design files to a manufacturer to build my own board.
