Re: Is it possible to control a Jaguar with a potentiometer?

My quick calculations for somebody to buy the resistors, capacitor and 555 would be $6.30
TI's launch pad $4.30
Laptop CAN method $1.80 (assuming you have a computer)
RC Tx/Rx $36.50 (wireless method for "safe testing")
Jumper wires $0.12

PS you only "need" the terminator for high baud rates. Not critical for testing
