BeetleC

SKU:K030

Description

BeetleC is a programmable car base compatible with M5StickC. The main parts of the base consist of a dual motor driver, dual reduction motors, a control chip, 7 programmable RGB LEDs, and acrylic wheels. Its extremely simple appearance design and highly expandable controller solution with network communication capabilities can provide users with a unique machine car control experience.

The BeetleC base needs to be used in conjunction with the M5StickC controller. On the base, there are two DC reduction motors driven by STM32F030, with the circuit connected to the top slot of the M5StickC to achieve control.

The car body has a slightly inclined appearance due to the different sizes of the front and rear wheels, as shown in the figure. Additionally, the power switch is located at the front of the body.

• Connect the M5StickC to the BeetleC base through the top expansion port.
• Press the reset button to turn on the M5StickC.
• Check hardware feedback:
  • The 7 LEDs on the base will light up in sequence 3 times.
  • Press button A, and the front wheels will rotate back and forth for 500ms.
• Use a phone or computer to perform a Wi-Fi scan, search for and connect to the SSID named "beetle", with the password "12345678" plus the MAC address prefix displayed on the screen.
• Then open a browser and enter 192.168.4.1 / ctl. After loading the page, the control page is displayed as shown.

Control Page

• Push the control stick up to accelerate the wheels, push down to decelerate.
• There are four colored bolts at the bottom. The color blocks are used to turn on all RGB LEDs at the bottom to the specified color. The black block will turn off the lights.
