PicoBorg Reverse and DiddyBorg

Hi again!

I was wondering if it's possible to connect 4 DC Motors (2 per channel), AND one (hopefully two?) servo on a PicoBorg Reverse, and control them separately via a GUI or PS3 joystick?
The DC motors would take care of the robot's movement and the servos are intended for on-board operations, like moving a hand or a camera.

Could this be done with only one PicoBorg? Can I make use of an Arduino here?

Kind Regards!

Hi, I bought a DiddyBorg Red Edition and I assembled it correctly and it works fine, however it seems to go much slower than in the demo. Is there anything I can do to make it go quicker?
Thank you,
Matteo

Hi hope someone can help. I'm using my Picoborg Reverse to control my sons model railway. I'm able use the GUI to move trains forward and backward. I've also run the sequence that comes with the examples, using the code as it is makes the train perform rather erratically as obviously this is for a robot allowing it to turn etc.
I've spent the weekend trying to modify the code for my own needs. I even tried using the fairground example.
Basically I need to insert a pause between each step.

Let me explain what I'm trying to achieve.

Hi,

I'm setting up a diddyborg as a VR telepresence robot.

I've written a joystick controller using MQTT broker:

Next I'd like to add PTZ camera, can anyone recommend one?

Hey everyone;

So after going through two raspberry pi boards, one battborg, one picoborg reverse, and one camera module (using a replacement camera module and on my 2nd raspberri pi replacement) I cannot get raspistill to display any sort of picture on my computer.

I was following the instructions which mentioned using SSH, so that's what I was using (PuTTY) and I have the camera installed and attempted "raspistill -d"

Doing this project strictly with voice recognition I ran into a problem I want the forward button to keep the rover moving forward until I tell it to stop. Since I have no use of my arms I want to start automating it. I'm thinking it has to do with how many cycles per click

I normally use a Raspberry Pi B+ with my DiddyBorgRed, although I believe that the Pi Zero would save space on my robot, plus it means my B+ can be used elsewhere. I was wondering if there is anything extra I have to do to be able to use the zero. This is because I have attempted to power the zero with my controller attached and it does not seem to work.

Hey,

I was checking your robots and i really liked the "DiddyBorg Red Edition" so i thought im gonna get one. But later i noticed that they re out of stock. Is it possible that you will have more in the near future and i can buy one?

Thanks

Hi, It was all going so well...
We installed everything up to the ps3 controller which was working well, then restarted the pi3 and after initial normal boot sequence we got a black screen with a blinking curser top left.
Tried turning off /on and the same, I don't really know where it went wrong, everything we installed seemed to be good, just up to the crontab -e line
Any suggestions?
thanks H

Aittle help please, I have Just received details of the wiring for the motors for a new Rpi project which are as follows:

"Each motor contains a Hall effect sensor on the motor shaft. This provides 2 pulses per revolution of the motor (300 pulses per revolution of output shaft) and can be used by your software to determine the distance moved.
You must power the Hall effect sensors separately with 5V to the V and G inputs, the output is taken from the S1 and S2 signals
