Based on the ESP32-WROOM-32 module, supporting wireless communication options such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and ESP-NOW. It features motor control interfaces capable of handling up to two DC motors with encoders or four DC motors without encoders, arranged in two groups. Additionally, it can manage up to 253 ST3215 serial bus servos and provide servo feedback. An onboard 9-axis IMU supplies real-time attitude and heading information. With power input acceptance ranging from 7 to 13 volts, it is designed to connect directly to 2S or 3S lithium battery modules. The system incorporates an automatic download circuit for straightforward programme uploads and includes features for monitoring voltage and current input. Equipped with a TF card slot, a Laser Lidar interface, and an integrated UART to USB function, its performance capabilities are enhanced. The I2C interface allows for connecting peripherals such as OLED displays and other I2C devices. Moreover, the system comes with a multifunctional extended header suitable for additional functions like controlling servos or relays, alongside a 40-pin GPIO header to connect and power host computers such as the Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano, facilitating communication via serial port or I2C.
