Description
Circuit board that simplifies making Printbots based on Arduino UNO! :)
It is one-sided so anyone can make it easily.
Features:
-Two light sensors (LDR)
-One ultrasonic distance sensor
-Two buttons
-Four LEDs
-Four servo-motor connectors
-Compatible with CNY70 board (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26819)

Instructions
You can use one of this methods to make the PCB:
youtube.com/watch?v=QQupRXEqOz4
instructables.com/id/Toner-transfer-no-soak-high-quality-double-sided/ (this one didn't work for me, you should try it anyway...)
I have uploaded also the connection diagram so you can see the components :)
Modifications (will be added in v2.0)
- You should power the Arduino with at least 9V and place a capacitor in the 5V line when using servomotors (otherwise the board will reset due to voltage peaks).
- It is a good idea to add one diode in series with the power line for the servos, this will help minimize voltage peaks that affect the 5V line.
Uses:
- Arduino shield library: thingiverse.com/thing:9630
- Monolito library: iearobotics.com/wiki/index.php?title=Monolito
