Didn't realize i needed another board to run the motors? Where do i connect my eye lights?

Motors i mean omnibots wheels

jstarne1 · Answer

Ezb only provides signals to coordinate other motors or servos , motors don't connect to it directly. For a omnibot you want to buy a L298 Hbridge motor control. It recieves signals to run the motors forward or back at the desired speed.  Eye lights you will remove and replace them with either 5mm LEDs or 10mm , you can Connect a single led to one single digital port on ezb , so two eyes would use two ports.

What Power supply should i use to power the wheels?

bret.tallent · Answer

I just used the standard 6V battery that originally came in the omnibot (you can get them for 10 bucks on the internet). I used that to power everything, the board, my drive, all of it from the one battery.

bret.tallent · Answer

Battery and any 6V charger should do.
