Explorer PHAT, motor one only goes forward and motor two backwards
It's unlikely the chip is damaged, it's definitely one of the hardier chips on the board. Could you post the code you're using?

This is my least favourite module in terms of getting the convoluted calculations right. I made some changes to try and fix the temperature data, which appear to have broken basically everything. I...

So, continuing on from a previous post. Here is my roving robot build so far. I've not made as much progress with it as I would like, but I've had a few personal mishaps the last few days.... Damn oil...

No, the problem is nothing to do with trust. If I pair the keyboard to a Windows PC it asks for a 6 digit code to complete the pairing. On the Pi it does not ask for this code so that's why it...

right, are you using the command line, or blueman? when pairing from the command line you have to declare the agent capability, like so: # bluetoothctl[NEW] Controller 00:10:20:30:40:50 pi...

The problem is with my PIZero.I have used some 4tronix traffic light less to check the GPIO pins. I confused myself last night by reading the connector the wrong way, which does not help! basically...

I am trying to use blueman but I don't get any option to enter a code. I cant use the command line as I have no working keyboard. Whatever I try nothing seems to work.

As you can see I cut out a couple of access points, for the USB and power if I decide not to use the battery when testing.

It could very easily be the soldering on one side or another, it doesn't take much to make a flaky connection. You should only need +5V power, from either of the 5v pins to run the motor driver:...

Great stuff - this is looking much more plausible at a quick check: the temperature is within half a degree of another device (whose accuracy is unknown) and the pressure number is virtually constant...

Are you using the out-of-the-box firmware? It might be worth trying an alternative to see if it fixes your problem. Also have a close look at the wiring around the PCB and make sure nothing's shorting...

Good news! I've tidied up this firmware release and added it into the pre-release GitHub repository as v1.13. You can find it here: https://github.com/pimoroni/flotilla-pre/tree/master/firmware

@gadgetoidPlease can you explain how I can apply V1.13 RC1 firmware or should I wait until the update_firmware script has been updated ?
