 QTI Line Follower AppKit for the Boe-Bot
from Parallax




This add-on kit uses QTI infrared emitter/receiver modules to easily enhance the line following capability of your Boe-Bot robot. The QTI sensors mount underneath the front of the Boe-Bot chassis, and can be positioned to adjust to different width lines. The application in this kit uses three QTI sensor/mounting hardware sets, arranged to follow 3/4-inch black electrical tape on white poster board. As a bonus, we have added a fourth sensor/hardware set. Once you master the basics, use all 4 QTI sensors together to make your own custom applications. Learning to use the QTI is easy with these illustrated instructions and example BASIC Stamp code written by Andy Lindsay, author of Robotics with the Boe-Bot.

This kit includes all the circuit and sensor hardware you need to add QTIs to your Boe-Bot:
  • (4) 10 k 1/4 watt resistors
  • (4) 3-pin male-male headers
  • (4) QTI sensor modules
  • (4) 3/8" 4-40 pan-head screws
  • (4) nylon washers
  • (4) 1" round standoffs
  • (4) 7/8 inch 4-40 pan-head screws
  • (4) inch round spacers
  • (2) bags of 10 3" jumper wires
  • (4) 10 inch servo cable extenders
  • Printed 6-page documentation (view it below)


You will need to supply your own Boe-Bot, white poster board, and black electrical tape. Manufacturer: Parallax. Manufacturer's Part Number: 28108.

 Thermocouple Kit
from Parallax




Thermocouples provide a low-cost, reliable means of measuring temperature over a wide range. Interpreting thermocouple output can be challenging because of the very low Seebeck output voltage (fractional to low millivolts) and the need to provide cold junction temperature compensation. The Parallax Thermocouple Module uses the Dallas/Maxim DS2760 High Precision Li+ Battery Monitor IC to process the thermocouple output. The Thermocouple Module has the following features:
  • 1-Wire interface allows multiple devices with just one BASIC Stamp I/O pin
  • Cold Junction measurement: 0C to +127C (0.125C resolution)
  • Low power consumption: Active current = 90 A max, Sleep current: 2 A max

In addition to the interface module, the kit includes 3 Thermocouple elements: K-type (Chromel / Alumel), J-type (Iron / Constantan), and T-type (Copper / Constantan). This kit is ideally suited to work with a BASIC Stamp BS2P24, BS2P40 or BS2PE. Manufacturer: Parallax. Manufacturer's Part Number: 28022.
