Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a 3D model of the DiddyBorg v1 Perspex case. The case on mine has split, and I'd like to print my own.

Hi Im playing with communication LoRa modules and Arduino/ESP32 boards I can successfully send messages over a fair distance and read the message on an Arduino IDE serial monitor. I know how to send sensor readings from an arduino to a Raspberry pi over serial and store these. But would like to go further and control my Piborg robot via this method. The messages would be simple left right stop etc. and possibly compass directions.
Is controlling the pico borg in this manner feasable if so could you help?

Hi, Im currently using a modified Diddyborg web script to control me ROV. I have attached a ms 5837 02B depth sensor that allows me to know what depth my ROV is at. Max 10m. I save the results to data.csv file which I can access through an appache2 webserver. this is fie but It meas I must have a seperate webpage open and flick between pages or link it as a source on the diddy web page which takes up space on the screen.

Hi, yet again I am reviving my ongoing ROV project. I am determined to have a working ROV before the summer.
just a recap. I am using two PicoBorg Reverse, one is controlling two bilge pumps which steer the Rov in forward/ reverse and left and right direction. The second controls two more bilge pumps which allows the ROV to ascend and dive.

Hi there,
http://forum.piborg.org/node/2429
I saw this post talking about line following using zeroborg and I am wondering if DiddyBorg can do the same and what line following sensors should be used?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi, reviving my old picoborg rev. I want to be able to control my robot with the web ui but not have the camera, I copied a script I'd previously used,(attached) corrected the print functions for python 3 amended Socket Server to socket server but am getting a few errors which I have attached. My board is connected properly works with the GUI and tested it with joystick and it works (only works with Thonny not when I execute in term)
Can you please help.

Hi erveryone,
I bought my Diddyborg some years ago but didn't assemble it.
Now I have time for this.
So I startet with the raspberry software.
But after installation of all software and sending the command
./runDiddyJoy.sh
I got the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/diddyborg/diddyJoy.py", line 8, in
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame
I am a total beginner and need help please

Hi, I'm planning to either use three ThunderBorg motor controllers (which I have been using for several years) or the PicoBorg Reverse for a Mars rover project.
I'd like to connect the motor controllers to an MCU running MicroPython rather than the Pi, so I was wondering if either the Python library for the ThunderBorg or PicoBorg Reverse has been ported to MicroPython. If not, I'd probably have to use a different board since I'm not sure I'd be up to porting it myself.
Thanks for any information.
