My source for the Arduino Motor Shield would not approve of my soldering iron. Not by any means…
fail
I still have the ‘made in china’ tag on this piece of shit. Poorly played.
In case any of my reader-base has taken an interest in microcontrollers, robotics, or awesome crap in general, Lady Ada has you covered. I recieved my motor shield in no time what-so-ever, and Limor’s prices smoke those of Amazon to boot. Don’t get me started about her tutorials…pretty bad ass.
I need to toss the pictured iron in the trash and get a real iron before I get after my motor shield project…I can say that the servos she shipped me are tits.
