Video - Solderless Power Bus Tutorial
🕑 Added 2021-01-29 11:16:34 +0000 UTCHi guys, I've had an increasing number of people who have built OSR2s who have been asking if there is a way to build a power bus without the need to do any soldering. Soldering is, after all, an acquired skill.
I highly recommend using a power bus with the OSR2. It removes the possibility of damaging the Romeo BEL mini with excessive current, it eliminates some of the programming glitches you might experience with the servos drawing power from the board, and it adds a useful on/off switch for the servos.
In this video I show you how to make a basic power bus using a few off-the-shelf parts and electrical tape. It's not a complete substitute for a soldered power bus, but for those of you just starting out I think this might be just what you're looking for.
