Product Features and Areas of Use
IotBot is a board developed specifically for use in robotics coding courses with an IoT focus. This board has built-in basic sensors needed to make IoT applications, thus saving users from making complex cable and sensor connections.

• Features and Ease of Use
  With its basic sensors, internal battery and wireless connection features, IotBot can be used as a wireless smart remote control for controlling robots. Its outer shell protects sensitive electronic components and is distinguished from its counterparts by its user-friendly design similar to a game console. Notification LEDs connected in parallel to the sensors allow the signals from the sensors to be seen. For example, it can show that the light gradually increases and decreases as you turn the potentiometer, or that the light turns on and off when the digital button is pressed. This makes it easier to understand the terms digital and analog.
• Motor Driver and Extra Features
  The IotBot has an internal L293D motor driver. This means that it can be used in applications that require a motor without the need for an additional device. In addition, the chips, which are delicate parts that require a lot of wiring and can easily break, are embedded in the board, which makes them last longer. A light sensor is added to the board for applications that require ambient light. A relay is included in the board for applications that require switching. An LCD screen is added to track data from the sensors, which can even be a simple mobile phone menu when programmed.
• Processor and Connections
  The ESP32 microprocessor was chosen as the IotBot processor. This processor was chosen due to its multi-language support, dual-core high-speed processing power, built-in wireless features and its prevalence among IoT applications in the market. The buzzer used to give audible feedback in robotic applications is integrated into the card. TYPE-C socket is used for charging and coding.
•  Additional Modules and Security
  Additional modules have been produced for sensors that are not added to the card and are used more away from the processor. RJ45 cables are used to power these modules and communicate with the processor. This eliminates the risk of damaging the card and sensors by making incorrect cable connections and saves time with ease of use. The CP2102 chip is integrated into the card to communicate with the processor and the computer. Regulators and other electronic elements are designed to prevent the card from being affected by electromagnetic fields, electronic interference from the user, and similar problems.

Compatibility and Extensibility
Thanks to parallel power and communication ports, IoTboT can be used with other boards (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi). With the power port, it can receive power to operate Arduino with jumper cables and with the communication ports, it can communicate with each other using different protocols. These communication ports provide the user with freedom to develop universal applications. The RFID port is designed to connect with sensors used to make projects in this field.
