Re: Simple C or C++ example for Raspberry?
cool.. btw - whenever I have tried to wrap anything with the formatting tags (like the code tags), when I do a preview or a submit, I get back a blank editor box saying 'too few characters'. I remove the tags, and it all shows up again. the peek() - yeah, I had thought at first it was the cause of t...

Re: Roboclaw 2x15 - logic battery vs main battery
oh.. right.. (I got lucky) lol... wired the fuse in first next to (+) terminal, then some wire down to switch (switch at convenient place).

Re: Roboclaw 2x15 - logic battery vs main battery
Hi, thanks for the tips. yes, have the main fuse coming right out of the main battery (no Li-Po; it's lead-acid). No, dont have twisted pair, but have shielding. some I wrapped myself, some was bought. shielding is grounded to chassis. Also an over abundance of ferrite chokes. Also have a capacitor ...

Emergency Stop Circuit
Hi, I want to add an E-stop circuit to my robot that doesn't depend on any software or smarts to shutdown the Roboclaw. (a watchdog). I didn't see any examples in these forums, or online (yet). How does this look? https://github.com/elicorrales/roboclaw/blob/master/e-stop-circuit.jpg My thinking is ...

Re: Simple C or C++ example for Raspberry?
Hi, I made some progress. I know you're busy..
I'm just trying to get the "ReadVersion()" to work.
(when I try to attach files via this forum, I keep getting invalid file extension. I've tried '.txt' and '.hpp'.
(unless i dump all the text in here - that's quite a bit)

Re: Simple C or C++ example for Raspberry?
Hi, thank you that really helped. Q: I noticed a micros() in the RoboClaw.cpp. Is that from the wiringPi library? If so, I didn't see an include for that. Here's some of the top portion of RoboClaw.h: //these two below I understand #include <stdarg.h> // this is ok - I got it #include <inttypes.h> /...
