Two Power Supply

 

So is this correct? i would just remove the jumpers? connect the v1 to the battery clip(the 9volt thingy)? and solder v2?

 

v1 would be 4.5V

v2 would be 5V

 

Thank You Again...

Don’t solder

Your connections as shown in the picture will work.

Once piece of advice: Don’t solder to the pins of the project board. Buy or scrounge up a header connector that will slip over the pins.

You can see in the picture above the power connections on my PICAXE 28 project board. i grabbed the two wire header on the right for V1 and GND, and the single wire header on the left for V2 from an old PC. The GND connections from V1 and V2 are joined on my power regulator board below the project board, which you can't see in the pic.

Those pins are hard to solder to. If you really cannot find header wires (you can) you can unsolder the header pins from the project board. This will leave you with nice contact holes you can solder to. I don't advise this. Header wires are the way to go in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice…ill

Thanks for the advice…ill follow my connections and instead of soldering V2 ill use header connectors…as a matter of fact i do have those…on my old PC…and V1 will be just regularly connected to the 9v thingy connector…

 

All correct right?

 

 

on more thing those Piezo speakers are the same on the motherboard right?

 

the positive goes to the input pin

 

and negative goes to negative right?

 

according to the manual…

 

no need for capacitors…right?

Piezo don’t need a cap

That is correct. A piezo speaker can be driven directly from the electronics. No need for a capacitor.

I have one incorporated into my modular project board add-on. It’s nice to add sound to your robot. Let the robots speak! Or at least beep.

Thank you…well so far im
Thank you…well so far im all correct :slight_smile: wont be long till i post my motion detecting,obstacle avoiding,edge detecting robot… :slight_smile:
