Which Arduino should I use?

I want to connect these components:
4 Mini Micro Switch KW10
4 Rotary Encoder]
1 CNC Rotary Encoder
1 Brushless FPV Drone Motor
2 Joysticks
16 RGB LEDs
13 Buttons

Which Arduino should I use, does any arduino connect all of these without a Mux, also is a rotary encoder digital or analogue? Can I connect this motor to an arduino?

Can I connect?
Yes, you can connect 4 Mini Micro Switch KW10
Yes, you can connect 4 Rotary Encoder]
Yes, you can connect 1 CNC Rotary Encoder
Yes, you can connect 1 Brushless FPV Drone Motor 1
Yes, you can connect 2 Joysticks
Yes, you can connect 16 RGB LEDs
Yes, you can connect 13 Buttons
The Mega and others will have enough I/O.
FYI: We are not a free design house, there is a pay for section available. We will help you but you need to do the work. Post a preliminary annotated schematic (I do not read pictures or word problems) showing how you will connect these along with links to technical information on each device. Start with some basic code and post that according to forum guidelines.

I recommend you get a copy of the Arduino Cookbook and read it from cover to cover. also do some tutorials on schematics and basic electronics, that will help you a lot.

Motors are not handled directly by any Arduino. A driver shield/board is needed.

No, but you can connect a motor driver to an Arduino.



Would this work? This the buttons only

Will any brushless motor driver board work on any brushless motor, or does the current and voltage matter? Also the motor says it has a dedicated driver chip, does that mean I can plug it in directly?

Both are very important.

Check the motor manual for instructions on connecting it. Please post a link to it.

The link from post #1 suggests that the motors come with motor controller. That'd be great.

The small white/black wires of the motor controllers I expect are for the control signal; which is likely to be PWM. Unfortunately I can't find details about it in the listing, maybe it's there, I didn't study it in too much detail..
