I've been researching for a couple weeks and this is my setup:
- Arduino Mega2560
Adafruit Motorshield V2 https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mot ... o/overview
12V 1.3A Stepper Motor http://www.amazon.com/57oz--NEMA-Steppe ... ch+nema+17
12V 1.68A Stepper Motor http://openbuildspartstore.com/nema-17-stepper-motor/
One LED
One PixyCMU5 Camera http://www.cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/documents
One 6 or 12V RC Servo (Not sure which one to choose) http://store.firgelli.com/category_s/1821.htm
1) what should my power supply be if I want to power the Stepper Motors and RC Servo from the Shield (with a separate power supply) and the camera and Arduino through USB?
2)How much current/voltage should I be supplying?
3) Can I safely run the 6V servo on the Motorshield even if it had a 12V power supply?
4) Should I get heat sinks and where should I put them?
I'm new to Arduino but I'm building this for a project for work. Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
