I have a LOT of questions, but I'd appreciate ANY AND ALL help. I'm so lost. First, some context. I've been using Arduino Uno R3 boards (non-solderable) for all my animatronic projects since 2020. But after many issues with durability, sustainability, and design, I've finally accepted that I need s…

[image] Els-Kindle: 9V batteries PP3 type ? Always show us a good schematic of your proposed circuit. Show us good images of your ‘actual’ wiring. Give links to components. Do you know how to solder ?

Once I have a breadboard and sketch working, I send the circuit off to a PCB fabrication company. It typically costs about $60 for five boards and takes about a week to arrive. I use https://jlcpcb.com/ . My go-to board now is the Nano Every with pins, it goes into a breadboard and you can easily p…

If PP3 means the rectangular 9V ones that have the two metal connections at the top, then yes, those batteries. I can send a photo in a moment of what the entire set-up looked like, thank you again so much. I do not know how to solder yet but I am getting a soldering iron for my birthday (in a week)…

[image] Els-Kindle: I do not know how to solder yet but I am getting a soldering iron for my birthday (in a week) so I can learn how to do so. Don't learn on your Arduino, get a practice kit and learn on that. If you burn something up it's no great loss. There are kits also for SMT devices bu…

Instead of soldering it might be much easier and just as permanent to use a screw shield. Screw shields for the Nano cost much less and are much smaller overall. Also, I don't understand why you would strip off the connector from the USB cable to solder it to the arduino: it's really not likely to …

I really like this suggestion!!! If you have any other information about how this works and what boards/components I'd need for this type of setup, etc, please do share! Thank you so much, this seems worth researching.

You literally buy one of these boards, either for the Nano, or the Uno and you plug the arduino into it (if you are using the Nano, then you need to get one with pins soldered in already). Then all the connections are available as screw terminals. That's all there is to it!

So if I understand correctly, if I have an Arduino Uno R3 board (these are the ones I have: Arduino Uno Rev3 — Arduino Online Shop ) (and I also have the breadboard that goes with it) is there a shield that will work with that model? Is there a shield I can put on the breadboard too? If so, what are …

PP3 batteries are meant for very light loads, never motors.
