Arduino running at 5v ?

running a duino with 5volt still works? the spec on arduino.cc says minimum 7V

Unless it’s a Arduino Pro, but from the pictures it looks like a regular diecimilia/duemilanove.

oou oou oou!
Nice job. I really like the arm. Great idea. :smiley:

23

Oops
I’d hate to be the driver trying to explain this one to the sargeant major.

**does it say that? **
does it say that? lol

with 5V works good :slight_smile:

I have other bots being powered 4 x AA NIMH batteries and also work great

Alright so first of all good job, this may be a bad question on my part, but what did you use to control it wirelessly, and how did it work with the xbee?

29

also
Also, where did you get the treads?

there are no bad questions

there are no bad questions here :wink:

the remote was a wii nunchuck, this was how I used it: http://www.tinker.it/en/Tutorials/WiiNunchuck

the threads I can’t remember where I get them, it will depend on where are you… US? EU?

US

I live in the US. NW part.

Is there a tutorial I can find that explains programming for the arduino?
