Thank you for your reply, however, I am not convinced that the person in that article is using an adafruit motor shield... hes certainly not using the 2.3 version that I am using anyway. On my motor...

you are right, he is using best I can tell a dfrobot kit. The point though is that the CC3000 uses SPI, so you'll have to use the dedicated pins on the Mega or use software SPI. The later should be...

Ok, I will look on the mega board and see if there is a Dedicated spi port.

see here:http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=125908.0 basically it's on pin 50-53. as far as I can tell using 3 and 5 as you planned is not problematic, though there a lot of alternatives on the...

Doh, after asking the almighty Google which pins were the spi pins I since found out that pins I was connecting to are the spi pins. My apologies, I'm still finding my feet with arduino. Could you...

I've had a chance to quickly go through the various available firmwares. The readings are plausible up to and including 1.0, but broken from 1.1 through 1.12. MD5 (flotilla-dock-010.hex) =...

Bluetooth on the Pi is still rubbish. I can detect a new Bluetooth keyboard, pair it, then 10 seconds later it disconnects. It is unuseable.
View ArticleHave I got the right Pibow coupé for my Pi 3?
I ordered a Pi 3 and Pibow Coupé (from another supplier) on the day of the Pi 3 launch. The Pibow Coupé I have does not have the hole in the roof, for CPU ventilation, like I see in the pictures at...

did you also trust it? not sure if that will solve the problem but without it you'd have to manually reconnect in case of disconnection, which may or may not be part of the problem.

it depends how hard you push the Pi, though in any event the CPU will be throttled back if temperature gets uncomfortably high - so damage wouldn't occur, but performance may be impacted. I would...

Try reversing the power and ground wires for the motor that goes backwards!
View ArticleExplorer PHAT, motor one only goes forward and motor two backwards
motor changes direction, which still indicates a problem with the output chip?
View ArticleStrange Barometer behaviour
yes, we're very much on the case. and for info, the IC in the Barometer module is the BMP280.

The chip is working as expected. If you switch the polarity of a motor, it spins the other direction.

Thanks. Is it just the Coupé Heatsink top that I need? Is that the same top as on the Coupé 3 case? Are there any other layers that have changed with the Coupé 3? My layer 3 has actually snapped, in...
