Alright cool, thanks again
Alright cool, thanks again for all your help voodoo and lex lee, probably start ordering parts soon and testing.
I’m lazy…
so I’ll use the onboard regulators, though I’m quite sure that’s not a good practice.
For your application, I think you'll only need 2 of the 3 axes. Find out which 2 you need and modify the codes.
I don’t see why it would be
I don’t see why it would be bad practice. place some caps by the servo power leads and that should help with any spikes/noise you might get. I think this drawing works perfectly for what the OP was looking to do. Great work! 
Second servo would be hooked up the same way this one would(different pwm pin though).
Bad practice because if the
Bad practice because if the onboard regulator is burnt, it’s more troublesome to change it, as compared to an external regulator
I guess this is why you
I guess this is why you should be mindful of the current draw on your regs as well as the limits, but that goes without saying. External regs would be a pain as well as you’d have to replace it from whatever locatoin it currently resides even if it’s not on the main board, it’s still a pita to replace.
It’s not bad practice if you do pay your mind to these details…which you should be doing if you are playing with electronics. When you fry it, thats a lesson to learn as well…
I’ve learnt my lesson from
I’ve learnt my lesson from the BS2, which is almost impossible to replace the regulator on the small chip.
Thankfully, that’s my only experience with frying, for now at least =D
Hey guys real quick just
Hey guys real quick just looking at the adxl335 breakout board, how do you connect to it? Are there ways to do it other then soldering to the board? Can you use headers somehow?
You have to solder to it
You have to solder to it somehow, even if your’re using headers. the advantage of headers is that you can easily plug in or out the component.
You can connect it to a bread board or extension wire with matching sockets
Hey fellas, another quick
Hey fellas, another quick question regarding wiring connections…
I understand how to supply power to all the components when using a breakboard, but what is the best way to do this on a final project? Is there some sort of “splitter” to divide the power wire up, or run multiple wires from a single wire???
Thanks Again
