Irony:

I just got out of the shower, and checked my email. Low and behold the second motor driver ordered from China arrived in our post office box today. We are headed out for Jonesboro, AR just a few minutes after the wife gets home from work. I doubt I will be in the mood to hunch over my workbench for a couple weeks after this little trip, thus the irony. I’ve been waiting on this one component to finish the mower side electronics, for months (ordered end of February).

I did solder all the leads from the Arduino and labeled each one with white medical tape (wonder where that came from).
:coffee:

2-5volt positive to the drivers
2-ground wires for the drivers
2-forward (L/R) Pulse Width Modulated outputs
2-reverse (L/R) PWM outputs
4-enable digital output signals (F/R) (L/R) that switch on/off the drivers directionally for each driver
4-analog inputs to the Arduino from the FlySky receiver
1-main regulated power lead to the Arduino with protection diode
1-main ground lead to the Arduino
1-5v lead to RC receiver
1-main ground lead for receiver

(5v supply to all components will be provided by the Arduino on-board regulator).

Maybe by the end of May...
