Warmaster's Workshop - Episode 32: Radio Controlled Rangefinder Circuit

I have been searching for this exact thing for hours and thank you for making this video. I seriously didn’t want to spend 100 dollars on a servo kit for my budget build.

It's nice to know that we are getting a little closer to a real buy'ce, man I wish someone would make a functional and somewhat inexpensive heads-up display

I have a few questions: the nano I received looks like it has these longer pins underneath whereas yours does not. Does this mean I got the wrong nano? I also tried inputting the code into the arduino IDE and when I tried uploading its gives me the error: programmer not responding. Is this something I can fix? Additionally: do you need the molex connector or can you remove the one the servo comes with and just direct connect the wires to the control board?

The nanos I get require you to solder in the header pins, and I always put them on top vs on the bottom. Sounds like you bought one with the header pins already soldered in. It will still work, just means you have to be a bit more creative in placement of the unit. Programmer not responding may mean you're not using the proper com port. I know Arduino has a website/forum that can support users, I'd check there for better answers to this question. You can direct connect the wires to the board, I just like using connectors because it makes the parts easily replaceable if something breaks.

Nice tutorial. Thanks very much. My only question is, what do you recommend for power? In your tutorial you don't mention the type of power pack one would use. It looks like you're running off your computer in the vid. I'm also assuming use a 4.6 to 6 volt power supply , based on the needs of the servo. And the Arduino powers the correct 3.3 to the relay off that.

For that specific circuit I used 2 rechargeable 9V batteries.

@@MandalorianMercsCC Cool. and that was fine on the 5V pin i assume. No resistors or voltage regulator chip from batteries to Nano?

[@MandalorianMercsCC]

@@boltrodriguez5606 if you're using a LiPo battery then you're going to get around 3.7v which should be fine.

Will you be making a video on how to make the dart launcher boxes for the knee armor out of sintra?

Can you provide a link for a slimline servo? All the I find are slim in the wrong direction

I'm trying to become fluent in knowing aurebesh and Mando'a Mando'a might be a little hard.
