BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Read the small print.
It changes the picture.
- Choose the Pi 4B or Pi 5 kit that matches your board. Acce versions exclude the host computer.
- Do not assume the standard kit includes a configured ROS 2 system or autonomous navigation.
- Confirm the exact edition, current destination availability and delivered price with the seller. A listed product is not a live-stock guarantee.
LIVING WITH THE HARDWARE
What ownership involves.
- Assembly
- Install the matching Raspberry Pi and batteries, then follow the mounting and software-image instructions. The PT kit includes the camera and pan-tilt hardware.
- Computer & setup
- Supply a compatible Raspberry Pi and a browser-equipped device for control. The ESP32 handles the lower-level motion controller.
- Connectivity
- The manufacturer documents a browser control interface and JupyterLab. Complete the network setup before relying on remote operation.
- Development access
- The wiki provides setup and programming examples. Match the software image to the selected Raspberry Pi and rover configuration.
