diz on Engineer Thursday - An Introduction to Ino Toolkit

Choice is a good thing. Without it, there would be lots of unhappy people. The fact of the matter is that the Arduino IDE tools don’t “work” for many (including me). I put together my own set of...

I’m so glad you’re not some stick-in-the-mud corporation that would refuse to say “more betterer”.

wesgood on DEV-10914 - Arduino Pro 328 - 3.3V/8MHz

Since this board has the 328, does it have a full 2kB SRAM (as compared to the Pro Mini at 1kB)?

Does the soft pot stay in the position you leave it at or does it go back to some default value when you take your finger off of it?

DarrylU on SEN-11827 - RFID Reader ID-12LA (125 kHz)

How about putting this on a PCB with FTDI FT312 so that Android users can access it directly?

The programming – i.e. the pattern of LED flashing/fading/doing what LEDs do best. See also the comments at the LilyTiny page for much the same question, and discussion :)

Can you program this with a 3.3v ftdi and run it with the battery?

Kamiquasi on KIT-11588 - Tri-Color LED Breakout Kit

Looks like the product shots are missing the rulers, but you can still find them in KIT-10111; the overall board layout hasn’t changed, just the traces. You can read the reason for the change there as...

Sadly no. There’s a voltage divider on the FTDI to allow charging but prevent damage to the ATmega. If you give it 3.3V, the resulting voltage is too low to function properly.

Yes it has 2kB of RAM. But the Pro Mini has the same MPU, so it also has 2kB of RAM…

It goes back to a default value – its construction is basically two conducting plates that are kept apart by some material, but pressing on the strip brings the two plates together. If you no longer...

Customer #436336 on Stepper Motor Quickstart Guide

Besides using pins 2 and 3 on the arduino to hook up the easy driver, can I use pins 6 and 7 and just change the code to suit those pins. Or must it be only on pins 2 and 3?Thanx

The photocell is a variable resistor which changes its resistance based on the amount of light hitting it. It does not generate any voltage on its own.

EFFALO on DEV-11190 - LilyPad Arduino USB - ATmega32U4 Board

how does one access the pins not labelled on the metal tabs? e.g digital pins 1, 4-8, etc

Kamiquasi on DEV-11190 - LilyPad Arduino USB - ATmega32U4 Board

It doesn’t look like they’re broken out in any way, so you’d have to very, very carefully solder to the pins on the board – which tends to be less than desirable for e-textiles work. Of course every...

How much do you save by buying the kit vs each sensor by itself?
