Hello everyone,
I have been using Arduino Uno for my project but it has limited analog pins and it getting too big with all other things I have on my board like Xbee Shield, Ardumoto motor drive for two dc motor with directional control and two other dc motor without directional control which I am planing to run with seperate diode+transistor setup with PWM . I will also use at least to proximity sensors and one two axis accelerometer. I will also need to check two seperate battery levels. I want to switch to Arduino Nano because it will be way smaller and lighter than my Uno setup. I have limited space and weight allowence. I have no background in electronics and it is getting out of control for me. If it wasn't for Labview I would never be able to do half of things I did.
I am planing to order it from US(I live in Turkey). If it doesn't work I will not be able to return it. You can find things I am planing to buy below. I need to be sure if they will work with my setup I explained above. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello Salender,
Yes, you can use the Arduino Nano V3.0 with LIFA. The Arduino Init.VI settings will remain default (i.e. Baud Rate: 115200, Board Type: Uno, Connection Type: USB/Serial, Bytes Per Packet: 15, etc.). So, basically going from the Arduino Uno to the Arduino Nano you should not have to change anything (unless you have previously made changes to defaults in your program when you were using the Uno).
As far as the extra stuff that you are using I did not investigate into those add-ons nor am I familiar with them.
