Description & Specifications

The ProtoBot Eye-Light FlexPCB is the official replacement flexible PCB for ProtoBot. It is soldered onto the CodeCell C6 Drive and provides the connections for all four N20 motors.

It also integrates the Eye-Light RGB LEDs, front proximity sensor and pre-applied adhesive backing for straightforward installation.

Every ProtoBot Kit already includes one Eye-Light FlexPCB. This separately available part is intended as a spare or replacement.

  • Product type: Flexible printed circuit assembly
  • Compatibility: ProtoBot and CodeCell C6 Drive
  • Motor connections: Four N20 motors
  • Integrated lighting: Eye-Light RGB LEDs
  • Integrated sensor: Front proximity sensor
  • Mounting: Pre-applied adhesive backing
Safety & Use
  • Disconnect the battery and USB power before installing, soldering or removing the FlexPCB.
  • Handle the FlexPCB carefully. Avoid sharp folds, creasing, puncturing, pulling or repeatedly bending the flexible sections.
  • Check the orientation and inspect the connections for solder bridges or short circuits before applying power.
  • Install the FlexPCB only on a clean, dry surface and avoid touching the adhesive more than necessary.
  • Solder in a ventilated area and take care around hot tools. Young makers should work under responsible adult supervision.
  • The FlexPCB and any associated screws are small components. Keep them away from young children.

The ProtoBot Eye-Light FlexPCB is a low-voltage replacement component intended for ProtoBot and compatible DIY electronics projects. When using it in another project, you’re responsible for ensuring that the power supply, wiring, soldering, mounting and connected devices are safe and suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Eye-Light FlexPCB included with ProtoBot?

Yes. Every ProtoBot Kit already includes one Eye-Light FlexPCB. This product is offered as a spare or replacement part.

What does the FlexPCB connect?

It is soldered onto the CodeCell C6 Drive and provides connections for ProtoBot’s four N20 motors. It also carries the Eye-Light RGB LEDs and front proximity sensor.

Does installation require soldering?

Yes. The FlexPCB must be correctly positioned and soldered to the CodeCell C6 Drive and motor connections. Disconnect the battery and USB power before starting.

Does it include adhesive?

Yes. The FlexPCB has pre-applied adhesive backing to help position and secure it during installation.

Can I use it in another project?

It is designed specifically for ProtoBot and CodeCell C6 Drive. Experienced makers may adapt it for compatible projects, but should verify the electrical connections, mounting and software requirements before use.

How should I handle the FlexPCB?

Handle it gently and avoid sharp bends, creases or pulling on the flexible sections. Excessive bending may damage the conductive tracks or integrated components.
