There are a few options; which is best recommend tying the Create BRC pin either to a spare depends on your circumstance. output on the Arduino which is kept low most of the time, or else directly to ground. 1. The recommended Vin input range on Arduino is 7 to 20V, ® • To hook up the TX and RX lines, see the Create 2to5VLogic due to its input regulator. When the robot is not charging, tutorial, taking note of the necessary PNP transistor if you you can plug this directly into Create’s main battery are using the hardware serial port. ® voltage, but while the Create 2 is charging, this bus • Depending on your Arduino, there are a few choices as to can get as high as 21V. If you choose this option, be sure which RX and TX lines you choose to use. Most Arduinos to unplug your circuit from the Create 2 when charging. have only one hardware serial port. This is shared We don’t recommend this option, as it could be easy to with the bootloader/programming port.
