Hi, I am trying to use my Nano to control some DC motors (at least 2, 4 ideally), several servo motors, two cameras, and a rangefinder. At least, that is the ultimate goal. I am a newbie to robotics and am wondering about voltages and how to control the motors from the Jetson. If I power the larger DC motors via a separate lipo battery, and then provide the Nano with a 5V power source, will it be able to operate the servos, cameras, etc without overloading?
Also, I am hoping to connect and control the larger motors via this control board (same one used in Jetbot): DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing Add-on For All Feather Boards : ID 2927 : $19.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
I think that control board then connects to the Nano via I2C. My second question is, would I then also be able to use another control board for the servos, also via I2C? Would I even need to do this, or could I also control the servos and the rangefinder via the control board I linked above?
