FAQ

The Motoruino board was specially designed to control motors, servos and sensors with ease.

We added 3 pin terminals to easily connect servos and sensors.

With the HBridge L293D, you can connect and work with two DC motors, with 0.6 Amp per channel.

This kit is aimed at people of all ages and areas of interest. It is oriented for people who want to learn electronics, mechanics, programming, and invent new cool things.

You will need an iron solder, solder and some tape to fix the components in place before soldering.

Pay extra attention in order not to misplace any component.

Besides the lack of the usb connection (you will need a TTL-USB converter described below), the Motoruino is 100% compatible with the Arduino Diecimila, including the pin position, so you can attach any compatible arduino Shield.

You can check all the Diecimila details here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardDiecimila

To connect the Motoruino to the computer you can choose between several USB-TTL interfaces or the MM232R. Alternative DIY (do it yourself) FTDI interface:
