some one hotwheels rc car i had back in the day - it uses one of those huge 6v lantern batteries

yea that's going to need lots of power, do some research on it and get a powered motor shield. whats your budget?

50 canadian or so, that includes the arduino, small lcd or led display, (should be able to display letters, numbers are ok too) the shield, motor, (cheaper the better, just has to be able to spin a 500 gram container) and thats about it

this seem ok for my needs - issue is the processor isn't an arduino

yup i suggest something more familiar, remember you need the community and to build on existing code.

get a built arduino not a chip, they will be hard to work with.

looking at this servo? this is compatible with the shield and arduino correct - btw thanks so much for helping out a confused noob who's been locked in an office programming for the last 2 years

thinking about buying this, but then how would my motor shield work if this one is occupying the slots? do i breadboard it
?

currently most popular and lots of code

ATmega32U4

ATmega2560

 

limited and not a lot of codes SAMD21 Cortex-M0+

 

i suggest ATmega328P thats the best one for the job

so the mega328p is good to go? also, as i said before, i need lcd, and a motor shield, do i breadboard them then, cuz the arduino only has slots for one of those extensions

if you need processing power get a pi, lcd with arduino will be slow. or get a pi arduino combo.

like how slow, i just want the lcd to display a time, and then set a time for an alarm, i think it should be fine right? i mean something as small as a watch can do that

can i use the arduino.cc online IDE to program this? little confused, there are genuinos, then unos, and this one, are the languages and commands the same - or what do i do? 

 

i don't want to buy this and find out that i can't upload the code or run it the same way arduino.org or arduino.cc tell me to help !
