Re: Pi and voltage regulator fail - overheat?
Under load regulation it says VIN-VOUT =3V. I don’t really know what “load” is but if it is this then your load if is 3.4 volts which is a little too high and could be the reason? I feel like load is all about current though and maybe is connected. Also have you put the recommended capicitors on tha...

Re: "Flip-it” new build/project
Thanks. How does that size feel to drive on? I wanted to make a size that wasn’t too small and make it too easy to drive off the edge and not to big there would be no battling. I am also going to print some more clips to close off more edges. Depending on the age of the roboteers to make it easier f...

Re: "Flip-it” new build/project
Building a new arena for school. With the potential to add in a polycarbonate shell afterwards. That can either be clipped on to use spinners or removed completely to use non destructive robots. Working towards hosting a AWS next year at the school. :) I bought a 6mm MDF board for £14 and 2x CLS woo...

Re: DasMikro 2S6A - latest batch dodgy?
Awesome, shame it’s that much bigger. I reckon you could desolder the capacitor as it’s only there for heat absorbing I think from voltage spikes. Not sure how much smaller it would make it though. Looking forward to it..

Re: DasMikro 2S6A - latest batch dodgy?

Taking ages... hopefully it will be a direct replacement for the dasmikro. Similar board size but can tak...

Re: Help with turn based robot project
You could have a control box for the referee. They can set switches or press buttons to allow people control of their robots. When the ref presses the switch it activates a relay to give power to their remote controls.
You could do all this easily with an ardiuno.
