I recently acquired a Dagu Spider malheureusment but I have a little problem that I would like to expose you BEFORE testing it myself. Because Dagu has cost quite expensive for my small ways! And my first test has not been very conclusive. So i have questions :
I'm using :
- 3 servos connected (D13, D12, D11). 2 Tower Pro MG995 and 1 Micro Servo 9g.
- 6 alkaline batteries 1.5 V LR6 - AA
.... the board heating and no LED lights. Is this normal?
.... Am i using a bad batteries ?
..... Can we connect the dagu with an external power supply (like i'm using ) and connect it with the usb at the same time (while the card heated I made a micro quick test and every time I sent data to the card I lost the connection "COM5") ?
i'm so lost ... please show me the light ^^.
ps : Everything is fine when i use 1 servo (c# program send degrees to arduino prog which move in case). But when i connect the battery with one or more servo ........ it's not the same ...
ok, I tested with the right connection (while connecting two servos) and everything seems to work. Chance? I saw in the forum that the red LED is the one that tells me the bootloader on and it shines continuously. I connect all (ei battery + board + pc) and also seems to work with alkaline but I’ll even get my NiMH batteries / lithium in the week.
I chose the wrong words in terms of physical units. As you said I’m newbie and I try to be careful next time!
Thank you very much both of you, Oddbot and6677 and if I may, I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
