Romeo V2- an Arduino Robot Board (Arduino Leonardo) with Motor Driver - DRF0225

Romeo V2 is a Robot Control Board with Motor Driver that is compatible with Arduino and is specifically designed for robotics applications and extended devices. Romeo is built on the open-source Arduino platform, which is supported by thousands of open-source projects and can be easily expanded with Arduino-compatible Shields. The integrated two-way DC motor driver and Xbee socket allow you to begin your project right away without the need for a separate motor driver or wireless shield. Another enhancement of Romeo V2 is the support for stepper motor control. It functions similarly to the Arduino Leonardo, which is based on the ATmega32u4 chip. It can be directly programmed with the Arduino IDE. The Romeo V2 is straightforward to use because it utilizes only the ATmega32U4 microcontroller. The 32U4 chipset directly handles the USB, and there are code libraries that enable the board to imitate a computer keyboard, mouse, and more, utilizing the USB-HID protocol. The ATmega32u4 has two serial ports, which enable the uploading of sketches without removing wireless modules.

Principle of Work:

The Romeo V2 is based on Arduino, which is free hardware. Arduino provides the framework so that any other individual or business can design their own boards, each of which can be unique yet function well when built upon the same framework, just like DFrobot with Romeo. Free software is a computer program whose source code is available to anybody, allowing them to use and alter it as they see fit. Arduino provides the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) platform to program and upload your code (sketch) with the help of an embedded bootloader, eliminating the need for an external programmer. Arduino libraries enable easy programming of the robot using pre-made libraries.

Servo Power Terminal:

  • Integrated external servo power terminal with input range of 5-12V. Recommended use: 5V.
  • The servo power terminal does not supply system working voltage.

Motor Power Terminal:

  • On: Supplies power to the motor driver and system power regulator (5-23V input)
  • Off: Isolates system power from motor power. System voltage must be supplied separately.

Pins and Sockets:

  • Digital Pins: 3 Digital I/O extensions (D14-D16)
  • Analog Pins: A0-A5, A6-A11 (on digital pins 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12)
  • Serial: Pin1 TX, Pin0 RX
  • External Interrupts: Pin 2 & Pin 3
  • PWM Pins: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13
  • Bluetooth Integrated Sockets: APC220 RF Module, DF-Bluetooth Module
  • Motor Sockets: Two-way Motor Driver, 2A maximum current
  • ON/OFF Switch: Controls system power from external motor power
  • Analog Sensor Extension Port: Orange for Signal, Red for Vcc, Black for GND
  • SPI Pins: Pin16 MOSI, Pin14 MISO, Pin15 SCK
  • I2C/TWI Interface: Three pin sets, supports Wire library

Applications:

  • IoT Robots
  • XBee Robots
  • Bluetooth Robots
  • Motor based projects

Comparisons:

The main difference between Romeo V1 and V2 is the use of the ATmega32u4 chip, which provides 2 UARTs for wireless communication. Romeo V2 is more suitable for beginners building wireless robotics projects, offering a more stable and easier to connect platform than using a Leonardo and separate motor driver module.
