Hi, I received my kit and I have been loving it...until I slipped a bit and blew one of the 220uf 6.3 capacitors (Thankfully I had my safety glasses on because the cap rocketed off). The board is still functioning but I want to swap the capacitor. My local shops only carry a 220 10v and I was wondering if that was an acceptable solution or should I swap out equivalent specification parts?
Are you putting voltage back into the ez-b connectors?
1) Saw a spark
2) Saw some smoke
3) Cap popped off the capacitor
This all happened in the matter of a second.
Side note: Huge fan of yours, keep up the great work!
Glad to hear your board is still working after that. Looking forward to seeing what you build
Thanks for your help,
Matt
Physically placing the EZ-B onto the Rover is so that you can hook up sensors and whatnot to the EZ-B and utilize them (via the Bluetooth link between EZ-B and your PC) in relationship to the Rovers environment.
And as far as a physical connection goes... duct tape works
In that case... that is a whole different story

Thanks again!
I just wanted to say what a great kit this is. I've been fiddling with micro controllers for a while but your package with the software is amazing. My wife was blown away when my 9 yr old and I set-up the camera and got it to track her movement, honestly she was a little freaked out at first.
Keep up the great work.
