PicoBorg Reverse and DiddyBorg

ok so i recently bought diddyborg red, built it yesterday loads of fun! but i seem to be having power issues, it boots, i can run test from picoborg reverse but i usually have an issue with spin, it will start and cut out, causing the pi to power down. ive checked all the wires because i noticed picking it up can cause it to power off.
it seems as if its flexing causing power issues? pushing a motor mount gives a click sound and power off
but i think that is unrelated?

i also seem to have an issue with the camera not always being detected...

Hi,

Not sure if this has been asked already (I couldn't find any answers to this)... but do you guys have the CAD drawings for the 2 plates that go on the Diddyborg?

I'm looking to make it bigger by using 18 x 24 inches of stainless steel.

Diddyborg is awesome btw!

I would like to know what the frequency is of the pwm that is provided on the picoborg reverse?
Can one adjust this frequency?

I am about to change the chassis to a home build and want to build a bigger rig with bigger wheels for more ground clearance and better off road performance.
I am wondering how well it will perform with 108mm tyres?

Hi,

I've had my DiddyBorg for about a year now and have been upgrading it over time. My latest upgrades include the LedBorg, XloBorg, TriBorg+, Headlights/Tail Lights, and OS Shutdown switch. In the past I've added the UltraBorg to which I added 4 distance sensors and put the Pi Camera on a couple of Servos.

Hi PiBorg

Just a query, one of many from me.

I am still working on the DiddyBorg, adding the 4S Lipo battery etc.

I was just wondering does the reverse board work with the CM?

I am wondering as I was thinking of using one with 2 cameras. Possibly for steroscopic vision, or for forward and reverse.

I am assuming that the new camera works with the DiddyBorg with no alterations.

Thaks

After testing this board using stepper motors... I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you just want a hobby board for small DC motors... there's better boards out there for the $.

Just got a few of these. Do I need to be using Rasbian vs Noobs to install the PiBorg drivers and examples?
I have the latest Noobs and can't get anything to download. I am completely new to using the Raspberry... so please advise.

Hello Guys,
i am inspired by this Video
https://zhengludwig.wordpress.com/projects/self-driving-rc-car/

I know, he made it whit and arduino and the Pi only for camera streaming...

I woult look live on the modified images with

cv2.imshow("Frame", image)
