Electrical Connections: Robot
NANO PIN CONNECTIONS
- D2 Bluetooth Module Tx
- D3 Bluetooth Module Rx
- A0 Potentiometer signal (white wire)
- A1 Potentiometer Power (red wire)
- A2 Potentiometer Ground (black wire)
- A4 Servo Controller SDA
- A5 Servo Controller SCL
- 5V From unused Servo Controller power port
- GND From unused Servo Controller ground port
Bluetooth Module Power
- V+ connect to an unused Servo Controller power port
- GND connect to an unused Servo Controller ground port
Servo Controller
- Connect the 12 servos to port numbers corresponding to the servo marking (0 to 11). Make sure the signal wire (yellow) is oriented correctly.
- Connect the switch/battery module output to an unused servo port power and ground. Make sure the red wire is going to VCC and black wire to GND.
- On one short end you will find a VCC and VIN pin right next to each other. Use a shunt to connect those together. Both the servos and logic will run at +5V from the UBEC on the switch/battery module.
- SDA and SCL go to A4 and A5 on the Nano, respectively.
Electrical Connectons: Gamepad
NANO PIN CONNECTIONS
- D2 through D9 are connected to the button matrix pins.Looking from the top of the button matrix module, the rightmost button matrix pin goes to D9, second to right to D8, etc.
- D10 HC05 Rx
- D11 HC05 Tx
- A1 Dpad Signal (white wire)
- A2 Dpad VCC (red wire)
- A3 Dpad GND (black wire)
- VIN battery/switch positive (red wire)
- GND Either ground on the Nano goes to the battery/switch negative (black wire)
