Hi guys.
I have some trouble connecting my arduino UNO to my laptop(it doesn't show up in device manager).
I can't reset it, I've tried the red button, connecting a jumper from RES(reset pin) to GND. PWR, L, TX, RX indicator lights are all on.
It might be fried because I've tried to use it to control an RC car and I am new to this. How can I know if it still works?
If (without anything else connected to it) the computer does not show you anything when connecting or disconnection, then chances are you fried something.
Chances of repair are usually quite slim.
I have the correct voltage on 5V and 3V pin and a small voltage on the pins that I used to connect it to the car this is how I connected it (messy) Screenshot by Lightshot
And this is the code that I used:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo esc;
int throttlePin = 0;
void setup()
{
esc.attach(9);
}
void loop()
{
int throttle = analogRead(throttlePin);
throttle = map(throttle, 0, 1023, 0, 179);
esc.write(throttle);
}
OP's image will not pick up from the site it was posted.
Clearly an issue with the wiring I would say.
Looks like a larger servo so if it is and you used the poor Arduino to power it !
Your picture doesn't help much. I would suggest purchasing a new Arduino, and next time, lay out your project with less chance of hooking the wrong wires together.
