2878 forum posts 248 photos | I have an Arduino circuit for driving stepper motors and using a second Arduino for the display from Electronoobs The grounds are all tied together, but should the 5volt lines be commoned between the two Arduinos. The schema in the link shows an Arduino Uno and a second Nano, but I will be using 2 Nanos both being powered by an external 12volt regulated DC supply. Help Bob |

2878 forum posts 248 photos | Thanks for the replies. I will keep the 5v separate for the time being Duncan, using the 7805, you would then feed that directly to the 5 volt pin on both Arduinos ? and in effect tie both of them to the same 5v level. Bob |
