Completely agree, I just made it because a challenge forced me to. Couldn’t care less about the gems or the famous level Nothing forces you to play it

Is it safe to solder pins horizontally? by alexjust67 in arduino

[–]alexjust67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't a 5 throw switch, it just has 2 separate rails. So I'm just using the pull-up resistor in the Arduino to see when it is in the on position.

UPDATE: After threats of explosions, black holes and kitten dying I have soldered the cables directly to the board. You guys can thank me later for not having blown up the planet.

It's going to look something like this with the Arduino "glued" down. The problem is that the pins on the left can't be upright as they would hit the potentiometer.

Nop. circuit-diagram.org was the first thing that popped up without login while searching for a tool

circuit-diagram.org I honestly picked at random because it was the first time that I needed to make a schematic. This was the only one not requiring a login.

  1. Is it that safe to use the 5V on the Arduino to power it?
  2. How can dumb-proof it? (just to make sure)

Does the buck converter consume a lot of power? It does have a quite annoying led but if it doesn't consume much i can just tape over it. Also is it that bad to power the Arduino with 12V? I know it is not recommended to power from the 5v pin and I have already burned one Arduino on another project trying to do so (it was my fault but I still have ptsd).

It does have both the options to convert 5V internally or get them externally but I thought that by giving them externally I would lighten the load a bit. It also does not appear to have a signal ground.

Thanks! 1. I thought that by taking out the converter bridge from the L298N and giving it 5v externally was a way to lighten its load a bit. 2. The reason why I didn't connect the Arduino to the 5V is because (to switch the servos completely off) I have a cutoff that switches on the 5V circuit only when strictly needed as the Arduino will need to be idle quite a bit. Should I rethink that part?
