Using 3.3V Microcontroller
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 12:14 pm
My understanding is that since RoboClaw is a 5V device, it considers anything above 2.5V high and below that low. I tried using 3.3V microcontroller (Teensy 3.1) and it worked, but would this be reliable? Assuming the microcontroller gets enough voltage and current to get 3.3V out using its onboard regulator, would this cause any problems? I have a logic converter board from SparkFun, but I don't want it to take up space on the breadboard if I can get away without it.
