So, I just placed an order for all the electronics parts I’ll need. A big thank-you to John Abella for this help in choosing the steppers and power adapter. Here’s what I bought and from where:
- Adafruit Industries
- 9 VDC 1000mA regulated switching power adapter – UL listed
- Stepper motor – 200 steps/rev, 12V 350mA
- Micro servo
- Arduino Uno R3 (Atmega328 – assembled)
- I opted for USPS Priority Mail, total expenditure: $82.85
- MakerBot
- Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino Kit v1.0 (a steal at $12!)
- I opted for USPS Priority Mail, total expenditure: $20.45
