Romeo BLE: Control Board For Robotics (Arduino Compatible)

Romeo family is an All-in-One Arduino based control board specially designed for robotics applications from DFRobot. It benefits from the

Arduino

open-source platform, it is supported by thousands of open source codes, and can easily be expanded with your Arduino shields. The integrated 2 way DC motor driver and wireless socket allows you to start your own robot project immediately without the need for an additional motor driver. Not just has the motor driver, Romeo is also designed to have extra power for servos which need more current.

Romeo is also featured with DFRobot’s standard 3Pin-out designed and compatible with Gravity series sensors and actuators. Hundreds of sensors are now plug-play with Romeo. You may also check

The Romeo BLE is a new member of Romeo Family. This robot controller inherits all functions of Romeo all-in-one controller, the Romeo BLE has integrated bluetooth 4.0, it is the first time to give a robot control board the power of easy setup. Thanks to the bluetooth 4.0, Romeo BLE supports uploading sketch wireless which means you do not need to plug a cable to upload new code. Just need a

USB Bluno Link

adapter, Romeo BLE is ready to be updated through the Air which is so convenient for robot application.

Update: The GoBle app is no longer available for robot control, however customers have had some success with the

AVA BLE Remote app

(thanks for the tip Adam B!).

What did others say about this Romeo BLE?

“I have the Romeo BLE and consider it to be a huge step up from the standard Arduino boards I have. All those extra headers for the standard connections and the motor hookups make it a dream to work with.” From Drew.
