DFRobot has completely rethought the code of the robot Insectbot Hexa to make it more intelligent in its movements and in its ability to avoid obstacles. The codes are not more difficult to read and it is still possible to program the Insectbot Hexa with the simplified Ardublock language. A graphical programming language that will allow you to fine-tune the Hexa robot.
The new Insectbot Hexa V2 uses Beetle BLE (the smallest Arduino bluetooth 4.0) instead of Beetle, which supports programming and wireless communication. Explore many more possibilities with Bluetooth 4.0!
