As some of you may know I am in the process of making an R2-D2 like robot.
The base of the robot has two drive wheels and two castor wheels. The drive wheels are powered by continuous rotation servos.
The wiring is as follows:
7.2V Ni-MH 1800mAH battery > Regulated down to 6.6V > Powering the two servos > Grounds connected to Arduino > Signal cables connected to Arduino.

Hello all
This is my first post in this forum and I hope you can help me. I just got a Rover 5 ( the 4 wheel edition) and the Dagu 4 channel motor controller.
Everything is connected with my Arduino Mega and I have no problems to control the motors and read the current amp value from the motors. I noticed that the motors are consuming up to 1.6 A and I think this is too much ? The Rover was not touching the ground and the default chain was mounted on the tire ?
Should I try to make the chains more loose ?
hi, im a twelve year old boy who is not an expert AT ALL, but knows the basics
i've made bristlebots, speaker tones, dc motor cars and other stuff
BUT
when i have to program in arduino UNO i just copy other codes from other people
cause... I dont know how to program at all!!!! i think arduino's language is c,and i don't know how to program
anybody knows how to program arduino
and can give me a little tutorial about key words and etcetera like setup, delay, control of dc motors sensor etc...
Amanda Ghassaei built this fun Arduino-powered noisemaker: The glitchbox is a sample-based drum machine used for live audio or MIDI sequencing. The buttons on the front of the instrument play back nine audio samples stored in its memory. A switch on top records and loops sequences of these samples. Once [...]
Hello
I bought a card "Dual 15A Wild Thumper Arduino DC Motor Controller"
When I connect the battery (voltage OK) to the card the led "good battery" lights for a while and then goes off.
The "power" led is ON, the 5V output is ok, the corrent is about 40mA.
The board doesnt work.
Do I had to send the card to the seller or can I do other controls.?
Thanks, Stefano
PS Sorry for my bad english language
(Perhaps I should preface this with the notation that NOTHING is working right today and I may just have gremlins. That said...)
Have you ever been Rickrolled? The bait-and-switch web gag is a web classic. But why confine the cheesy music of Rick Atley to the internet? Now you don't have to thanks to computer engineer Zach Ratner.
Kevin and Peter Gould from Olympia Circuits started selling their own Arduino-compatible LeOlympia development boards at the various Maker Faires. In the course of demoing and talking to people they recognized the need for something even simpler to get people into the world of programming microcontrollers. The result is the [...]
Hi.
Having got the processing/arduino serial sorted, I thought I'd have a go with charliplexing. I downloaded this library, and wrote a bit of code to try it. However, whenever I try to verify a sketch using it (including the demo sketch), I get this error;no matching function to call to 'Charlieplex::Charlieplex(byte [3], int)'. I've tried re-extracting the library, but with no success. Does anyone have any ideas?
If this library is broken, does anyone know of a better one for charlieplexing?
