I just bought a Leonardo to control my 10 servos. New to this. Price not critical. WIFI nice to have. Should I buy this or Uno instead?

I'd go with the Yùn. You can have it host a web page that allows you to control the Arduino's IO. Worse case you can always use it like a basic Arduino. Just make sure you have enough IO for your need.

The Yun is nice but only has an onboard wifi ant., take a look at the Dragino Yun shield, it will let the Leonardo operate like a Yun, you can change a jumper to use an external ant.

Ya i tried 3 servos :/ but i think you are correct its the receiver. To late to return so mine as well upgrade. Thx for the reply.

I have used the Yongnuo transceivers. The batteries drain faster than the PocketWizard. They have a shorter range. And the connectors are not very reliable. The PocketWizard is a much better build and has features that the Yongnuo does not have. If you want to go cheap, you get what you pay for.

I am very new to Quads and RC vehicles as a whole but I am learning fast. The Spektrum DX5e is a good controller and works great. I am now looking to get a controller with more bells and whistles such as electronic readouts on it such as timers, battery levels and various other things I've been told the higher end ones can do but I am still researching the DX7's and higher. The get kind of pricey so what comes in the RTF box is awesome....you can always upgrade later.

This what I found good sources of info!http://42bots.com/tutorials/28byj-48-stepper-motor-with-uln2003-driver-and-arduino-uno/ See Adafruit tutorials on stepper motors.

The quick answer as a fairly new guy to all of this is "I Don't Know", BUT - I have recently been sneaking around Adafruit's website www*adafruit*com and they have one for under $6. The Duemilanove is the 2009 version of an Arduino which isn't an UNO version 3. The Adafruit part claims to work in all of them, so it may help to give it a shot. Again, I'm pretty new at all of this so you might get a better answer elsewhere!

Yes, it is basically a kit wrapped around the Arduino Uno. I prefer the NetDuino personally but the kit had some great components in it.

I bought the GEC8 live instead...very reliable with more functionality (midi, etc). Love it

You should dump all your other AP and use the UniFi as the primary unit connected to your main router. It comes with excellent wireless controller software that is very full featured and one unit per floor should cover an average home. The units load balance and self update automatically.

The OWC drives are junk, they use outdated SandForce controllers and have serious reliability issues. Take a look at some reviews on macrumors and amazon.

As all of the others have attested, the display will not work with the UNO for the reasons they have listed: program space, pin availability, etc. The Mega would be sufficient, however I used this screen with the Arduino Due. There were libraries for the Due and plenty of program space, pins, etc.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

had to edit my answer because it's cheaper than i thought: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__54822__OrangeRx_T_SIX_2_4GHz_DSM2_Compatible_6CH_Transmitter_w_10_Model_Memory_and_3_Pos_Switch_Mode_2_.html the dx6i is prob easier to program & there is lots of info online. Lots of folks use orange now, so tons of info on this too. I have a DX8 too & love it. This will take you a long way for 1/3 the cost.

If it show that the OLT-18W is replacing the 9605, I would buy it. After all sales are guaranteed.

Good question. The controller apparently has five buttons only because a 5 pack is also available. The 5-pack costs a little more but probably less than what you would pay for extra sockets. Also notice the controller has to "learn" each socket. If you search options on amazon, for a few dollars more, Etekcity has a model with numbered sockets that correspond to the numbers on the controller. You just plug it in and use it.

you google the board, find the maker, get the manual and read it. Or ask nVidia; whatever, I would not recommend taking technical advice from some anonymous poster. REMINDER: it's AMAZON, buddy, buy it, try it, and return it! EOS. Good luck.

The board is counterfeit of the Arduino Uno. I'm sure it works just as fine though....I hope. I just got mine today.
