PiCar-X - Smart Video Robot Car Kit for Raspberry Pi ,Support Ezblock/Python Code.
SunFounder PiCar-X is an AI self-driving robot car for Raspberry Pi, on which RPi works as the control center. Supports Visual Programming Web Control for Raspberry Pi 4B 3B+ 3B 2B. The mounted camera module, ultrasonic module, line tracking module can separately realize the functions of color detection, face detection, automatic obstacle avoidance, automatic line tracking, etc.
Taking the SunFounder-designed Robot HAT for Raspberry Pi as the driving module, it integrates the motor driving, servo driving and presets ADC, PWM, Digital pins for your function extension. A speaker has already been inserted in the Robot HAT to realize TTS (Text-to-Speech), sound effect, background music, etc.
NOTE: The SunFounder PiCar-X Smart Video Robot Car Kit for Raspberry Pi, model CN0351D, DOES NOT INCLUDE BATTERIES.
Built with a robust finished aluminium body and include Robot HAT board based on raspberry pi development,Picar-X is easily to be controlled and assembled.It come with Multiple Playing Modes.
Build your own remote control car
A perfect tech toy to build your own robot and explore endless learning activities.
- PLAY IN EzBlock - Provides visual programming software - EzBlock Studio to guide you to grasp the programming, There are 14 examples to help you completely grasp the blockly program skills

Object Following
This AI Robot car kit has many object detection functions, and after adding some algorithms, it can follow with the object, for example, you can let the car follow with the ball.
Cliff Detection
The PiCar-X's grayscale sensor not only can realize the line-following function, but also has Cliff Detection, even if you put it on a high desktop, you don't need to worry about it falling.
AI Detection (Color/Face Recognition)
PiCar-X can separately realize the functions of color detection, face detection. Note: Only one color can be detected for one time(Support red-orange yellow green blue purple).
Python & Blockly visual programming
PiCar-X guides you to grasp the blockly Python program skill. It comes with the free Ezblock Studio APP compatible with iOS, Android, PC, Phone, and Tablet. Learn the block-based coding skills while developing critical thinking skills. PERFECT FOR BEGINNER TO LEARN ADVANCED CODERS (14 examples given to expand your knowledge).
Music Mode
A speaker has already been inserted in the Robot HAT to realize TTS (Text-to-Speech), sound effect, background music that brings you a good mood, etc. You can develop a funny interaction with this function. Such as, Programmable texted message "hello" to play when it sees your friends. There's a camera and music mode gives the car a sense of science and technology.
Obstacle Avoidance
PiCar-X has ultrasonic Sensor that can be used for experiments such as obstacle avoidance and automatic follow. Distance value can be read with your devices.

According to the official documentation, users are advised to purchase two 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries separately. The recommended specifications for these batteries are:
Type: 18650 Li-ion
Voltage: 3.7V
Capacity: 3000mAh or higher
Button top (to ensure proper connection)
Without a protective board (to prevent overcurrent protection from interrupting operation)
Additionally, the Robot HAT included in the kit does not have charging capabilities, so a separate battery charger is necessary.
