Product information "M5Stack BALA2 Fire self-balancing robot kit"

BALA2Fire is the abbreviation for "Balance". As the name suggests, it is the second generation of the M5Stack balancing robot series. BALA2Fire is a self-balancing robot consisting of the M5Stack Fire and two wheels (DC motors).
The base uses STM32F030C8T6 as the main controller and has a two-way coding motor driver and a built-in 1200mAh battery.

This robotics product comes with pre-installed software. A self-balancing robot application that balances the robot vertically using a closed loop control system. You can programme it to move automatically or you can combine Wi-Fi to develop remote control functions.

The robot can be controlled with a smartphone or a transmitter. The BALA2 base contains a variety of interfaces. In addition to the traditional PortB and PortC, it also supports 8-channel servos, of which 4 channels can be connected directly and the remaining 4 channels must be connected from inside the base. Even if you've never tried your hand at a balancing robot programme like this before, you can quickly get to grips with it and control it via UIFlow. The self-balancing robot uses the data from the accelerometer and gyroscope to correct its orientation and position.
The 2 DC driver module communicates with the M5Stack Fire via I2C(0x3A).

Note: If you are using PSRAM, you cannot use the PortC
