Getting ready to put Adrian`s Pololu stepper driver circuit together and have run into a question. He mentions that if you are using 5v from the Arduino Mega, to leave out the 78L05. Great! I am thrilled to only have the wrong symbol for ground. I have just enough electronics knowledge to read a schematic and fumble through getting it togethe

r. I think I can handle this one (fingers crossed). Thanks for the help. If I run into issues do you mind me asking advice of you. It`s nice to have a contact with roughly the same setup. I would also consider keeping the two capacitors there to minimize voltage spikes when the Polulu`s switch on and off. Run and already regulated 5 volts from another card over ribbon cable leaves it very "soft" and unable to instantly supply large inrush currents, or absorb back EMF when motors are turned off. Keeping the 100uF electrolytic to handle big, long duration impulses and the 1uF ceramic to short out the high frequency spikes and noise may help make the board more reliable, fewer missed or extra steps. EDIT: After looking closer at the whole circuit, I see that there are already 100uF electrolytic caps for each Polulu. And looking closely at the internal schematic for the Polulu`s, they have their own internal 0. 1uF surface mount capacitors, so no need for any extras beyond what is still in the schematic after the 7805 and attached parts are removed. I am a little confused after looking even closer at the circuit. It looks like the only source of the 12 volts needed to drive the steppers and the extruder heater came from the connector that is now labeled 5V, Mega, Gnd.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
