Why?

Might be that the components draws too much power when powered up together.

SjoenH commented 9 years ago

Possible fix: use an external power supply. "The 5V output pin is good for ~400 mA on USB, ~900 mA when using an external power adapter The 900 mA is for an adapter that provides ~7V. As the adapter voltage increases, the amount of heat the regulator has to deal with also increases, so the maximum current will drop as the voltage increases. This is called thermal limiting" from: http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/67092/how-much-current-can-i-draw-from-the-arduinos-pins

Tried feeding the components power from external source (YwRobot). Didn't work. The components works by themselves though. Code-problem? @tobinus

I don't understand what you mean by "bluetooth powered up". It worked on Sunday, with both Bluetooth and IR.

Strange... :confused:
