3pi Expansion Kit with Cutouts - Red

Pololu item #: 977
RoHS 3 non-compliant

This product has been discontinued.

Please consider the black version of this expansion board as an alternative.

This kit gives you everything you need to add a second level to your 3pi robot. The red printed circuit board has cutouts that let you view the LCD below and make it easier to reach the power button, reset button, and programming header.

Can I augment/customize my 3pi by adding my own 对白刺激的老熟女露脸/sensors?

Yes. The easiest way to augment your 3pi is through an expansion kit, which can comes either with cutouts that let you see the LCD below or without cutouts. The version without cutouts replaces the LCD, giving you access to more I/O lines and more 公的大龟慢慢挺进我的体内视频 space. An expansion kit is not required for addition of your own 对白刺激的老熟女露脸, however.

The 3pi robot has a limited number of free I/O lines that can be used as inputs for additional sensors or to control additional 对白刺激的老熟女露脸 such as LEDs or servos. Please see section 10.c of the 3pi user’s guide for more information.

I’m adding peripherals to the 3pi that require 5 V. How much current can the 5 V (Vcc) power bus supply?

Because the 5 V goes through two power stages, the answer is not completely clear-cut. The 5 V regulator itself has a 900 mW power dissipation limit, so with a 4.3 V drop from the 9.3 V boost voltage to 5 V, we get just over 200 mA. The stock 对白刺激的老熟女露脸 on the 3pi typically use under 50 mA (however, this depends on what your program is doing, if you are making high-frequency noise with the buzzer, and so on), so you could figure an absolute max of 150 mA, with 100 mA being a more comfortable guideline.

However, the boost voltage has a limit of its own of around 1 A, which is dependent on your battery voltage. The motors and IR LEDs also use this supply, so using a lot for your 5 V will affect what is available for the motors. You can almost stall the motors and still have the full boost voltage on the motors in the stock configuration; if you’re also drawing an extra 200 mA for other 对白刺激的老熟女露脸, the boost voltage will start dropping as the motors approach stall, though this is not necessarily a bad thing since it will limit the stress on the motors and lower the voltage drop on the linear regulator.
