boards without connectors or with B2B connectors

Hi,

Is it possible to purchase roboclaw 2 x 7A in small volume ie <10 without connectors installed?

Thanks,

Rob.

Install pyserial 3. installed python roboclaw software (version I had was the latest) 4. modified the config.txt and enable_uart=1 (possibly dou...

Re: Losing communication with Roboclaw,TTL serial and Raspberry PI

Hi, Greatly appreciated the reply. Downloaded from Pololu... Running Jessie Lite, RP3. Whilst I was updating Jessie, I thought had the problem licked.
