Has anyone used this with an Arduino? If so, do you have a sketch example? I am looking at using this for an hydroponics system to refill when low.

You will be fine! I have my hydroponic is running with arduino and it works just fine, use the button sketch, I'm controlling 2 tanks and all I've done was to combine 2 buttons sketch and add a {do nothing if button 1 and button 2 = HIGH} and that was it! Good luck!

I had it working hooked up to the 5v arduino board. I do not have it on me at the moment but i connected all the pins to the board and ran it off some code i found online.

It draws very little current. I have driven 2 off usb power. If running from a micro controller such as an Arduino, you will need to connect to 4 I. O. Lines and 5v and gnd. Do a search on Google. There are plenty of tutorials on running it as well as some libraries that can be downloaded.

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.

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

I can't answer about Arduino. I am using the PicAxe which can directly switch 12 volts, but can't handle any significant load. I run 5v to the logic side and run 12 volts to the control side of the picaxe. I also push the outputs to this board to switch other 12, 24 and. 110v circuits with higher loads. I will directly push LED circuits with the PicAxe and low load 12v.

I have not embedded a program in the Micro meastro, but in an Arduino board I hadn't touched it for a year and the program worked like a charm in my robot for a haunted house. It's amazing how lomg these are retained.

It has been a while since I used mine, if you have a load attached and it remains zero, I'd say it is broken, as in DOA. Sometimes stuff happens in transport.And by the way, when I got and used it back in December '13, I was quite pleased with the performance. Perfect for working with the sensitive, low power circuits I was testing.

I haven't hooked up what you have, but I use these control an astronomical telescope and they work great. I replaced a number of other USB/Serial converters that used Prolific chips with these. These use FTDI chips and are much more reliable, at least in the astronomical community.

I am using a standard power supply to operate mine - 5V on the power pins on the board (There is a jumper to set 5V or 12V on the board, everything works fine with 5V for me). With the power connected, I then use 4 input pins of the arduino to drive the motor, using the servo library, and everything works as expected. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi, I use it with Linux but the Info I have is 0x067b for the vendor, 0x2303 PL2303 Serial port, V4.00. I have had no problems with it so far. Mark

maybe is the best i can say. ive had mine for about a year but could not find a good example of how to properly wire it their example was only for their breakout board. but technicly if it is the same as a regular arduino mega it should work

Yes it will work with an arduino. You need to have a motor driver. You can get an adafruit motor driver shield for example. Lots of other motor drivers are available.

I haven't ordered more yet. I use Aloe Vera gel to conduct a current. It works and it's cheap :-)

The Arduino nano can use all libraries the Uno can use. It's essentially the same controller. The libraries on the playground website should work without problems. Only for micro controllers like the attiny85 etc. you need specific small libraries for servos etc. I love my nano. You'll need to solder the pins btw.

Here is a link to a discussion about the board: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=110876.0 What type of motor are you trying to control? A stepper motor? a servo motor? What type of micro controller are you using an arduino?
