Next time you build a permanent project, don’t waste a $15-$30 Arduino board. You can get the same functionality of the Arduino UNO for less than $5 at https://amzn.to/2WFXTaN No usb or power onboard (requires 5v). Program it with an
I’ve been wanting to play with an Arduino controlled Pan & Tilt Mechanism for quite some time. Today I ordered a kit that will be a prototype for a solar array on a bigger scale. I’ll be using this Pan
