Moteino

Moteino began as a low power wireless Arduino compatible development platform based on the popular ATmega328p chip used in the Arduino UNO. There are now several Moteino development boards including MoteinoMEGA based on the Atmega1284P and MoteinoM0 based on the SAMD21G18 Cortex M0+. For programming you will need an external FTDI-Adapter to load sketches, the advantages being lower cost, smaller size.

Servo Motor

A servo motor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with servo motors.

Servo motors have been around for a long time and are utilized in many applications. They are small in size but pack a big punch and are very energy-efficient. These features allow them to be used to operate remote-controlled or radio-controlled toy cars, robots and airplanes. Servo motors are also used in industrial applications, robotics, in-line manufacturing, pharmaceutics and food services.

Pololu Adjustable Boost Regulator 2.5-9.5 Volt

This powerful, adjustable boost regulator can generate an output voltage as high as 9.5 Volt from an input voltage as low as 1.5 Volt, all in a compact. A trimmer potentiometer lets you set the boost regulator’s output voltage to a value between 2.5 and 9.5 Volt.
