mBot
This is not your typical robot. mBot is a smart and hacker friendly robot with reflective sensors, LEDs and a buzzer. On first power up, mBot is loaded with software that make it dance on a table without falling off. It does so by reading the two reflective sensors in the front. If it detects no reflection, it knows that it is off the edge of a table and it will backup and turn.
Important note: mBot uses two 3.7v 14500 rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Batteries and chargers are available from many online sources, like Amazon and Ebay. Using AA batteries won't damage the mBot but it will not work.
How do I update the firmware? In the case of updating the firmware, press and hold Button 1 (BTN1) as you apply power to the board or while pressing and releasing the RESET button.
