Which tips does this soldering station accept? Is it a standard size?

According to my local stores manager they are getting more stuff in. Mostly seed studio stuff if I heard correctly.

Worth to mention The Mux Shield uses Arduino digital pins 2, 4, 6, 7, analog input pins A0, A1, A2, and optionally uses digital pins 8, 10, 11, 12.

From what I understand so far – you loose those; no latch. Goes back to 0. IMHO terrible design but there isn’t anything like this out there so this is still a great product

I am building my own board for really simple operation. I have TI 8835 H-bridge chip with 3.3V supply. It can only drive 1.5 A per phase. Will it be able to drive this motor? Thanks!

The loader appears to be proprietary, and I’ve had trouble getting it working under Ubuntu. (Not to mention the creepiness of downloading binaries blindly from uncontrolled sources.)

The 3.0V threshold is for only 250uA drain current, and increases typically 100mV at 0degC, so 3.1V. A 3.3V supply at -5% tolerance is only 3.135V. Even if the driving device had zero drop from supply...

Hi again, your example is easy to understand, thanks. I’ve tried using the example code on the link you posted with no luck. Having put serial prints in to debug it, I’ve noticed it enters loop() but...

The color isn’t as important as the wire’s position in the connector. If you look at the clear connector, you can see where the colors line up. The circuits use the outer pair and the inner pair, so...

Machine pin (“round”) headers are more reliable (and typically more expensive) than square-pin headers. They grip tighter and provide more points of contact, which helps in high-vibration environments....

I didn’t get these from SparkFun, but have what seems to be an identical one from Princess Auto, so keep in mind I’m speaking about potentially different ones. Also keep in mind it is heavily used...

The 7805 voltage regulator will put out 5.0V at up to 1.5A if it has a heat sink – without a heat sink, it will probably put out around an Amp before it gets too hot and shuts itself off (it will turn...

The datasheet covers this part’s whole family with different numbers of pins. For this particular one, refer to the “pole” table on the right-hand side, and find the two “pole” (pin) version.

Sometimes it’s code size that’s the restriction. The smaller pin-count parts have less RAM and ROM than the larger parts.

Hmm I did not test it with software serial, let me try that. Did you set the correct baud rate (38400)?
