How To Wire Up A Robot

here are some ideas to have less problems with you robot one is try to keep signal wires seperate from power wires.if you cant then twist the power wires to blocks the EDDY currents

another is use SPG (single point ground) witch is all grounds go to a center point or screw

if you looking at why your board sometime resets or other problems,(unstable readings) this might be the cause of it been wiring boards for over 25 years,from slot an pinball machines,very precision equipment ,plus robots

@sfoy ,i see you like johnny five my favorate of all my robots working on building a full size full detail design

on wiring you keep all analog and digitals together on one side and power wires on the other side of the robot if not you can twist the red and black power wires together

Oooo I would love to see the full one. He is awesome and probably what first attracted me to robots.

Ok so I get keeping them separate. I thought that would kind of be a give in.

There's going to be a part 3? OOOOOoooooo I can't wait for that one.

I will keep checking on them. I couldn't hope to accomplish something like that. Way beyond my capabilities.

I am currently working on a non-traditional robot. He's going to be a Minion like from Despicable Me.
