Info please
I am about to start assembling the components for this controller. I am a bit lost with the power aspect.
The extension board has a 5.5mm socket. The wiring diagram shows 12v supply. I assume the 12v supply from the battery pack plugs in here.
Do I need to do anything to my Arduino before I apply power? I don't want it going BANG on me.
It is my understanding that an Arduino is 5v when powered through USB but can take 12v supply through VIN. I take it then plugging the battery into the 5.5mm socket it is connected through VIN then???
Sorry for the noob questions. I'm picking this up bit by bit as I progress with the build......
