Shield Compatibility
The configuration of the DFRobotShop Rover is the same as the Arduino Duemilanove except for the fact that
pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 are used to control the motor driver. If you are not using the motor driver, all shields should
be compatible with the rover.
The DFRobotShop Rover includes headers and connections for the DFRobot Bluetooth module and APC220 RF
modules. Be sure to install the module facing the FRONT of the PCB. Note that unlike many other Bluetooth
modules, one pin is used for Tx and another pin for Rx. Bluetooth allows you to communicate with and control
the robot via computer or other Bluetooth enabled device.
Design
Q. Is the PCB open source?
The design is essentially an Arduino Duemilanove with several pins directly connected to the motor driver. The
schematics are available online under the Useful Links tab of the product description.
Q. Are the brackets open source hardware?
If you want the design, contact RobotShop; youll need a plasma cutter or CNC and a bending machine. We
would be hap
Q. Why not use the Arduino Uno design?
The main difference between the Arduino Uno and the Duemilanove is the USB to serial chip. Both do the same
thing, and the FTDI chip is very reliable. The V1.0 and 1.5 use the Duemilanove while the V2 uses the Uno.
