In Topic: Power external USB device from Netduino Plus (1)

Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that the WL-330N3G draws 2A but for power supply the specifications say something like: DC 5V with max. 2A (see http://www.asus.com/...#specifications for more information)
I will have a look at the switching regulators.

no its 8-16 ma per pin!
only the power out pin can supply more, and i dont think its 800ma, its way less.
2A is quite a lot, id use an power regulator from your lipo for that, switching regulators are most efficient. (lm2596 i use a lot, from ebay)

//edit: keep in mind that 2A is also a lot for an lipo akku, it will run only ~1 hour per 2000mah

Actually it supports 4 DC motors, but the pin-out is in a way only 2 motors can be used with a classic netduino. The Netduino Plus 2 should be able to use 4 DC motors.
The same counts for the driver in the post here :)


Thanks for your answer!

What I understood so far is: I can use two motors, either DC or steppers on M1/M2 and additionally two servos that are controlled directly by Pins 9 & 10 wich are brought to the headers on the to left of the board. I can use the servos with this code!?

Is this correct?

Thx

Hi,
thanks for your reply. What driver did you use? I found a driver in the Micro Framework Toolkit on Codeplex but this does only seem to support two motors. I am not sure what about the stepmotors or servos then... And of course the driver from here.
It would be sufficient to me to use one DC motor and two servos or two steppers.
By the way, is there an even better motor shield for the use with netduino?

Thx

Hi there, I am new to netduino and the adafruit motor shield. I am planning to use this combination to drive a DC motor controlled by my netduino plus. I read pretty much about how to connect the motor shield to the netduino and I am currently a little bit confused. I read something about the pin layout of the shield that should not be 100% compatible with the netduino. Is this true? Or can I just put the motor shield to the netduino and use it straight forward? Can I use COM1 in combination to the motor shield? I want to use a BlueSmirf bluetooth module as well. Thx!
