The motor controller is built! It has been constructed using two Arduino Nanos and is wired up and ready to test.

Today I will show you the schematic of the controller and also how I hooked everything up on a small piece of perfboard. I’ll also explain why I decided to use the Arduino Nanos instead of Pro Minis of ATmega328P chips.

Also, there was a bit of a foul-up in last weeks video, it ended way too soon. An editing error that I apologize for.

The error also prevented you from hearing a question I posed to you regarding a way of exchanging information about the robot project, as well as your own robot builds. I asked the question again at the beginning of this video, so please leave me your comments – I’d love to get your opinions.

Now that the controller is built it’s time to move on to the software. I’ll be showing you some sketches in the next episode.

Hope you enjoy the video!
