Hi Bill. This is a wonderful build. I noticed at the 41:30-minute mark in your video explaining this project you show several filter capacitors (5 of ...

Bill,I'm sorry to hear about your health. I hope you are on the mend and will keep you in my prayers.My thought is to continue with the raspberry pi ...

@codecage I thought the TB6612 was an ESC of sorts. If it's anything like the L298N which can be sent a PWM signal to vary the speed doesn't that mak...

I have a question about these Arduino cars in general. But this car illustrates it as well. Most of these RC cars that I see for Arduino use the ine...

@codecage@PugwashI'd be very interested if that protoboard works.So the Word document attached shows how I loaded the bootloader and then programmed t...

@PugwashI did not know that. I am relatively new to electronics. So that isn't surprising. I can't recall if I tried the Arduino Uno (I may have). ...

@codecage@PugwashAlright. Here is the verdict. I spent several hours and was able to figure out how to load the star wars song sketch onto both chip...

@codecage@PugwashIf you mean on the IC surface for the FTDI adapter it says: FTDI1845-CCN480661FT232RLI purchased it from this site:If you meant the A...

@Pugwash@codecageI've been slowly going down the list of boards. Some of the boards said something about not finding the serial port I specified. I ...

@codecage I had the 16 MHz crystal and a whole bunch of 22 pF caps ready to go. I ordered like one 22 pF caps, 20 or 30 crystals, and like 10 of the ...

@codecage@Pugwash Have either of you tried using an FTDI adapter to upload? If not, how do you upload your sketches once the bootloader is on the ATM...

@codecage@PugwashSo it appears I just had the wrong schematic. I believe the bootloader loaded without problem. I will now try to load a sketch in u...

@codecage@PugwashOriginally I wired it per this schematic: Which I got from this instructible. br />Right now I will rewire the circuit using Steve's ...
