Hello everyone,
I'm looking to use Arduino boards with my field kit sensor section (and other things) and on the Koma website it implies the best way to power an Arduino is with the dc motor interface
"The maximum output-voltage is about 8v. It provides enough current to power an Arduino"
I'm just wondering if it is possible to power an Arduino board from the 5v output and ground output of the sensor section and then use more complex sensors with the Arduino and then just output the sensor data from the Arduino and input to the field kit signal input?
I'd like to use the dc motor and an arduino at the same time if possible for a couple of ideas i have and just wanted to know if the plan was viable or I'd have to rethink slightly.
