Minimum hardware to get started

• Computer or Laptop (Windows/Mac/Linux) : required to run the Arduino IDE, ACEBOTT App, or block-based software for uploading code to the ESP32 core.
• USB Type-C Cable : to establish data connection for programming and provide initial power for testing the main controller.
• 5V DC Power Source / Battery Pack : to handle the higher current demands of the robotic arm and sorting motors during full operation, as standard USB ports may not provide sufficient amperage.

Safety Warnings:

• Current Draw Warning: Do not power the fully assembled robotic arm and sorting mechanism solely from a laptop's USB port during intense operations; use a dedicated external power supply to prevent voltage drops and microcontroller resets.
• Mechanical Clearances: Ensure the robotic arm's path is completely clear before running test sequences to prevent servo stalling and subsequent overheating.
• Voltage Conflicts: The primary controller logic operates at 3.3V (ESP32 standard). Do not directly connect external 5V sensor signals without logic level shifting if you add custom modules outside the provided kit.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

• Is the ACEBOTT QE037 kit compatible with standard Arduino IDE?
  Yes, the core ESP32 controller can be programmed using the standard Arduino IDE via C++.
• Can I control the smart factory using a mobile app?
  Yes, the kit includes WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities that integrate seamlessly with the official ACEBOTT mobile app.
• Does this kit work with standard 3.3V sensors?
  Yes, the ESP32 logic operates at 3.3V, making it natively compatible with most standard 3.3V electronic modules.
• What voltage does the ACEBOTT QE037 require to operate?
  The fully assembled system requires a steady 5V DC high-current power supply to reliably drive the robotic arm and conveyor motors.
• Can I power the fully assembled factory from my laptop's USB port?
  No, standard PC USB ports cannot supply enough current for the multiple servo motors under load and will cause the board to reset.
• How do I connect the sorting mechanism to the main controller?
  The conveyor and sorting motors connect directly to designated, pre-labeled motor driver ports on the central ACEBOTT expansion hub.
• Do I need to solder the components in the QE037 kit?
  No, the kit uses an Easy-Plug ecosystem or standardized connector system for a completely safe, solderless assembly.
• Do I need level shifters for the included line tracking sensors?
  No, the provided sensors and modules are designed to interface perfectly with the included ESP32 expansion board out of the box.
• Which programming languages can I use with this kit?
  You can use block-based graphical programming for beginners, or transition to C++ via the Arduino IDE for advanced IoT projects.
• Where can I find the example code for the sorting sequence?
  The default sorting logic, sensor reading, and robotic arm kinematics are available as downloadable examples through the ACEBOTT software portal.
• Do I need to install specific ESP32 libraries to make the WiFi work?
  Yes, you will need standard ESP32 WiFi and networking libraries, which are typically included when you install the ESP32 board core in Arduino IDE.
• Is this kit suitable for beginners?
  Yes. The kit is designed for beginners and advanced learners, with step-by-step learning using Arduino IDE and ACECode.
• Is this kit suitable for classroom use?
  Yes. It is designed for STEM classrooms, robotics labs, engineering workshops, and group learning activities.

• What is the main purpose of this kit?
  The kit helps learners understand how modern smart factories work by combining robotics, automation, sensors, and programming into hands-on learning projects.

• Is technical support or learning material available?
  Yes. ACEBOTT provides learning resources and tutorials to help users assemble, program, and explore the projects.
