Title: First Purchase Question
Post by: longshot on February 12, 2015, 01:43:42 PM
This will be my first arduino project and I am ready to dive in, but I want to make sure I have all the correct hardware with my first purchase.  I plan on creating the GarageMote project and already have my raspberry pi.  Am I correct in assuming that the hardware list below is what I will need to complete the project including creating the gateway at the pi? 

1 x GarageMote Kit (project kit)
2 x Motenio RFM69W 915 MHz, 4 Mbit flash, male side headers (one for GarageMote and one for pi gateway)
1 x FTDI Adapter (to program the Moteinos)

Thanks!

You got it. The only thing not provided is the power supply for the GarageMote power input. Anyone probably has a basic 5V old phone charger in their junk box, that is sufficient.
