Yahboom YB-EET01-V2.0 Micro ROS Control Board for Raspberry Pi 5 Robot, ESP32-S3, ROS2

Overview

This Micro ROS control board (MicroROS Robot Control Board) is a Raspberry Pi 5 robot expansion control board designed for ROS2 robot projects. It integrates an ESP32-S3 co-processor, 4-channel encoder motor drive, 2-channel PWM servo outputs, a laser lidar serial interface, and an onboard 6-axis IMU attitude sensor. MicroROS firmware is pre-installed before shipment for communication with devices running ROS2.

Key Features

• ESP32-S3 co-processor for MicroROS: supports MicroROS development and can be used in WiFi-UDP LAN mode or serial communication mode.
• Raspberry Pi 5 PD power support: Type-C power interface supports Raspberry Pi 5 (5.1V/5A) PD power supply protocol.
• Robot I/O integration: 4-channel motor drive with encoder speed measurement, two PWM servo interfaces, lidar communication interface, buzzer, LED indicators, and custom buttons.
• Multiple communication methods: WiFi-UDP and serial port; also supports WiFi, Bluetooth, and I2C communication.
• Lidar and motor wiring attention: lidar/motor equipment must match the boards interface and line sequence; MS200 lidar and 310 motor are recommended.
• ROS version: supports ROS2 only (not ROS1). Includes ROS2 function package and MicroROS tutorials.
• External antenna included: external gain antenna provided to enhance wireless signal reliability for WiFi and Bluetooth communication (IPEX 1st generation interface).
