Bare LED panel should be populated with desired LEDs according to Table 1 LED Panel population. If
D9 is populated than D11, D13 and D15 should not be populated. . If D10 is populated than D12, D14
and D16 should not be populated.

PiBot HAT to Raspberry Pi Mounting
PiBot 2WD
Use 9 – 10mm (9mm recommended) spacers to fix PiBot 2WD directly on top of Raspberry Pi.
Use 2X20 pins adaptor header to stack PiBot 2WD on Top PiJuice.

Connections
Power
Battery connects to J3 terminal block or P2 2.54mm header.

DC Motors
Two DC motors that driver robot wheels connects to J1 and J2 (only on 4WD) terminal block like
designated.

Photointerrupter Board
Photointerrupter board can be used to make Speed Encoder. Use 5 wires proto cable to connect
Photointerrupter board P3 header with PiBot 2WD P3 header by connecting corresponding pins from
Table 2.

Servos
Servo (e.g motor for camera pan tilt) should have 3 pin 2.54 female cable connector in order to
connecto to PiBot HAT.
PiBot 4WD

Connect Servo motors to any of 13 PWM channels on P4 Header.

PiBot 2WD

Connect Servo motors to any of 16 PWM channels on P4 Header (Channel 16 cannot be used if IR LED
Driver is connected).
PiBot Zero

Connect Servo motors to any of two channels on P4 Header.

LED Panel
Connect LED Panel to PiBot HAT using 0.5mm pitch, 10 core FPC cable through P1 connector on panel
board and P13 connector on PiBot HAT. Connector pin 1 must be matched on both sides.

Single LEDs
LEDs can be wired to any of PWM output drive channels. It is recommended to connect LED’s
Cathode to PWM output and Anode to 5V rail.

Sonars
Use 4 core 2.54mm female/female cable to connect Sonars to one of 3 Sonar channels on PiBot 2WD
Header P5. On PiBot 4WD or PiBot 2WD, Headers P7 and P8 can also be used to connect to additional
Sonars with 4 core female/male cable.

IR Receiver
Connect Infrared remote receiver ic like TSOP4338 to female header P12 on PiBot HAT, directly or
using cable with 2.54 male pins connector (PiBot Zero requires soldering of female header or direct
IR ic soldering).

Speaker
PiBot 4WD

Connect loudspeaker using cable with 2.54 female connector to P10 header on PiBot 4WD.
PiBot 2WD

Connect loudspeaker using cable with 2.54 female connector to P10 header on PiBot 2WD.
PiBot Zero

Connect loudspeaker using cable with 2.54 female connector to P9 header, pins 1-2 on PiBot Zero.

Electret Microphone
PiBot 4WD

Connect Electret microphone using cable with 2.54 female connector to P9 header on PiBot 4WD.
Wire Mic output to pin 2 (MIC+) and Mic ground to pin 5 (see Figure 2).
PiBot 2WD

Connect Electret microphone using cable with 2.54 female connector to P9 header on PiBot 2WD.
Wire Mic output to pin 2 (MIC+) and Mic ground to pin 5 (see Figure 2).
PiBot Zero

Connect Electret microphone using cable with 2.54 female connector to P9 header on PiBot Zero.
Wire Mic output to pin 4 (MIC+) and Mic ground to pin 3 (see Figure 3).

Camera Pan/Tilt Assembly
Camera can be connected to Raspberry Pi camera connector and mounted to Pan/Tilt hardware with
servos together with LED Panel Board using screws. Figure 9 shows example of Camera Mounting to
PiBot LED Panel Board and Lynx B-Pan/Tilt Kit.

Leva Robot Kit Assembly
Figure 10 shows Robocar made using Leva Robot kit plus PiBot HAT and Raspberry Pi computer as
controller.
