Hello friends!

Like 10 hours of fiddling and finaggling later, I have completed the poster design for this project!

No, the project’s not complete but, yes, I have a presentation in about a week. Here’s the screenshot because the actual file’s too large! 😀

Succinct update: stuff stops working after I unplug the USB cable. There wasn’t anything really helpful already in the Arduino forums, so I created a new thread.

Here’s a bulleted summary of what’s in there and what I’ve done since then:

To start

• First response suggest that I’m only drawing 100mA from the 12V batteries unlike the 500mA from the 5V USB line. This could be the reason.
• I mess around with the power supply (more to come) and then realize that I am supplying via a TURNIGY 5A SBEC that supplies a constant 5V and 5A. So that shouldn’t be a problem…

Next I look at where I’ve plugged it in.

From what I can recall, it’s always been plugged into pin A12 on the sensor shield v2.0, and I only remember changing it after I started having issues. So here’s where things get interesting:

This is a very basic step-by-step on setting up the interface, and written as a reference.
