Things to include in the build guide

[IanSuper7]

Somewhere to note down information that will be useful to new builders.

Motor controller modules need to have 2 x 6 pin connectors on 0.1" pitch with the rows of pins 0.575" (14.605mm) appart. Most modules that members have purchased are this footprint the one from Fasizi are not.

[IanSuper7]

Motors can be connected to the chassis by either 0.1" header (right angled) or soldered direct or using JST breakout board like this one from Pololu .

Explain the use of extended headers to achieve the board spacings

It was this that made me realise there are two flavours of right-angle pin header - if that makes a difference.

J5 has 4 pins arranged for possible addition of 0.9" oled screen Gnd Vcc SCL SDA builders should make sure they have a compatible module as some variants reverse the Gnd Vcc pins. Alternative uses for J5 are any I2C module, KY-022 IR receiver or any GPIO application ising GPIO10 and GPIO11
