Description
Indoors a robot knows where it is by counting wheel turns. Outdoors it can ask a satellite. This pack gives the Smart Car a GPS receiver, so students can send it to a waypoint, watch the path it takes, and see how real positioning error behaves in practice.
Key features
- Latitude and longitude acquisition read the robot’s real-world position
- Single-point navigation send the car to a waypoint and let it drive there
- Mobile path monitoring plot the route actually travelled
- Includes SMD button battery keeps the GPS fix between sessions
Learning resources
Programming: Arduino
Tutorial languages: English, Chinese
Works with
The ACEBOTT ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001). The pack is an add-on and is not a standalone robot.
Please note
This is an expansion pack. It requires the ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001), which is sold separately. GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so these projects are best run outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on its own?
No. It is an expansion pack for the ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001) and needs that base kit to run.
Does it work indoors?
Not reliably. GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so plan these projects for a playground or open outdoor space.
What is single-point navigation?
You give the robot one target coordinate and it drives towards it, correcting as it goes — the simplest useful form of autonomous navigation.
