Good Morning,
We are looking at putting together a going away gift for our boss and were looking at this project here:
Our question is: Can we use an Arduino Nano to replace the called for PropBoard? the 60+ Euro price is a little out of our range at the moment and something like the Arduino Nano is a little more feasible.
Thank you for any feedback you may provide.
Hello @rayshazz,
I’m not really sure but I know the Arduino Nano won’t work as a “drop-in” replacement.
You’ll have to use some external boards to compensate what the PropBoard already integrates (SD card, amplifier, LED driver, accelerometer, etc.), and you’ll have to revise the 3d prints to fit the hardware
The code of the tutorial will not be compatible and need a rewrite from scratch, since it uses special, integrated functions that work only with the PropBoard.
In a few words, aside from the idea, it may be a whole different project that has little to do with the one proposed in the tutorial.
