On smooth floors you can expect drift of a few percent per meter. You can improve it by calibrating wheel diameters, adding a gyroscope for heading correction, or fusing encoder data with a magnetometer — all excellent follow‑up experiments with this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"kit-description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLM393 optical encoders track wheel rotation counts to calculate distance travelled and heading with dead reckoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch4\u003eWhat's in this kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/uno-r3-ch340g-atmega328p-board-arduino-compatible\"\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/lm393-motor-speed-sensor-module-for-arduino-rpm-measurement\"\u003eLM393 Speed Sensor\u003c\/a\u003e x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/l298n-motor-driver-module-specs-pinout-projects-compoden\"\u003eL298N Motor Driver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tt-gear-motor-high-torque-dc-motor-for-arduino-robotics\"\u003eTT Gear Motor\u003c\/a\u003e x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/castor-wheel-15-inch-nylon-robot-chassis-mobility\"\u003eCastor Wheel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/2wd-robot-chassis-kit-with-motors-and-wheels-for-diy-robotics\"\u003e2WD Chassis\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/096in-oled-display-128x64-i2cspi-for-arduino-raspberry-pi\"\u003e0.96in OLED SSD1306\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/18650-cell-37v-2600mah-li-ion-battery\"\u003e18650 Cell\u003c\/a\u003e x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/18650-battery-holder-single-cell-cylindrical-holder-for-diy-electronics\"\u003e18650 Holder\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/resistor-variety-pack-100-pcs-10-values-14w-carbon-film\"\u003e10kΩ Resistors\u003c\/a\u003e x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/capacitor-variety-pack-6-values-100nf-to-470uf-30-pieces\"\u003e100nF Caps\u003c\/a\u003e x5\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eM-M Wires x30\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is included in the Odometry Robot Kit with Arduino Uno + Speed Encoder?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The Odometry Robot Kit with Arduino Uno + Speed Encoder includes all components needed: Arduino Uno R3, LM393 Speed Sensor, L298N Motor Driver, TT Gear Motor, Castor Wheel and more.
