Question on a car kit I bought recently bought an UNIROI Smart Car kit.
(UNIROI Smart Robot Car Kit Arduino Robot Kit with 4 Wheel Drive, Arduino UNO R3 Board, Ultrasonic Sensor, Infrared Tracking Module (No Welding Required) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CWS344R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_wQExCbHT0YM8K)

I bought some extra things with it to make it more interesting, but the problem is is that I need to connect more pins to the Arduino but they are all taken up by the car. What I have noticed is that there are these extra pins along the side of the Arduino board as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/j1Q8QVu

I know you guys don’t have it in hand, but I thought I’d give it a shot to see if any of you know I can use those pins.
The description of the car also quotes
“Extended Pin Interface. The chassis is designed with 
extended pin interface for Arduino UNO, only need to solder pins for using, more convenient to develop 
and build your own robot car kit”

Appreciate any help you guys got.
It seems that you'll have to do some extended modifications to the design. In fact, all Arduino Pins (D0 - D13, A0-A5) are connected to components on the board and thus in use.

This means that the only way that you'll get new components into this project are:


removing components  and re-programming the firmware to not use them


e.g., the two tracking-sensors left&amp;right -> A2 and A3 are free 
e.g., the speaker pin (D13). Who needs a speaker? 

restructuring components


e.g. for the analog sensors: instead of using the Arduino's analog pins, throw a I2C ADC module (e.g. ADS1115) in the build and change the firmware to get the analog values via that new module; making this project use an I2C bus will free all analog pins and cost 2 pins (SCL + SDA). The I2C bus has the additional benefit of being able to connect more than one device to it -- you can e.g. put a I2C GPIO expander (e.g. MCP23017) on it to gain 16 more digital I/O -- more than the Uno had to begin with.
