Do I need a pullup resistor if I'm using this with an Arduino?

Yes you will need a 4.7K resistor. One side of resistor to Plus 5VDC the other side of resistor to the signal wire of the sensor, Ground wire connects to ground.

You have to supply 12V for Vcc and ground to the relays. The in1-4 can be triggered directly from Arduino outputs as long as your 5V and 12V supplies share a common ground.

Yes the relay module works with the Arduino duo, but the relay module will need an external power supply.

Use a flat screwdriver for the resistor you pointed out. I cranked mine up to 13v with no issues. I use about 15 amps for a ham radio transceiver.

There are a lot of tutorials on Arduino and you also get a small tutorial on the basics. You should be fine with it. This kit is enough to get started. When you know what you want to do just buy the parts you need for that project.

I used the 5v pin on the arduino to supply it. I did however desolder the male pins on the board and resolder in female pins so I could use regular jumper wires to hook it up.Hope this helps.

I can't say for sure, but according to adafruits arduino shield compatibility chart it's not likely. (http://learn.adafruit.com/assets/6122)

I have not done much with the sensors to date. Most of the sensors are simple digital/ analog I/O interfaces which would just require an appropriate I/O selection on the microcontroller. If you have questions about a specific module, I could take a quick look and let you know. I had the same reaction with the lack of documentation but I am an electrical engineer so I am not particularly worried about figuring out the details.

It does not come with an arduino, but it gives you the correct mounts so that you can have the arduino raised. Also the mounts from the arduino line up with holes on the chassis.

No, it does not come with Arduino. All of the hardware and even the screwdriver is included though.

Without load resistors it will just blink rapidly. Still works perfect but just blinks a lot faster. GET RESISTORS!!!

I would go with the data sheet numbers normally. But I drive one of these boards directly from an Arduino and never had any problem. So go figure.

Sorry, but when I got this display it did not come with any instructions or wiring diagrams. Yes you can use it for the pi and or the arduino, but good luck finding out how. Do yourself a favor and go to Adafruit.com and buy from them. Everything they sell comes with how to instructions and even downloadable software. They even have tutorials for many subjects you may be interested in. I cannot say enough great things about this New York based company. Amazon is a great place to buy many many things but when it comes to electronic components, Adafruit is one of the best. Good luck.

What kind of receiver are you trying to hook this too? This is an Arduino shield and is meant to stack on top or an Arduino and use the AFMotor library (It's a copy of the Adafruit) V1 Motor Shield. There are lots of different ways it can be hooked to various motors.

No, but there are YouTube tutorials. That's how I learned to use mine with the Arduino UNO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_gcyWKCxY

You will not need resisters unless they are for turn signals. The turn signals will flash very fast without resisters. I found an easier way to control the turn signal flash by replacing the original flasher with a led turn signal flasher. They are inexpensive and Amazon carries them.

Luke, I realize this may be a bit late, but if you are talking about a radio control receiver like you would use with RC cars/planes then you would want to connect the receiver to the Arduino board and use it to translate the receiver's commands into motor commands for the shield. A decent tutorial here : https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/348
