Exercises

To get you familiar with the content of this chapter, these additional exercises will attempt to test you on what you’ve learned, and prepare you for later sections:

Find a datasheet for the Bluefruit LE UART Friend. Find the electrical current used by the device, along with its width and height for fitting it.
We are going to add such a Bluetooth board to our robot. Use the dimensions from the datasheet to make a part in your test-fit diagram.
Find a space on the robot for this part that does not overlap with other parts.
Look on the websites of the previously mentioned stores. See if you can find out where you’d be able to buy this part.
