Please describe exactly what you have done so far.

The R-Pi has a TTL Uart on the 40 pin header(you will need to look it up). Those two pins(TX and RX connect S1 and S2(TX from R-Pi to S1 and RX from R-PI to S2). You also need a common ground connection between the R-Pi and Roboclaw.

Alternatively you can use a USB connection from the R-Pi to the Roboclaw.

The Python library available on our website will work with R-Pi. You just need to specify the correct comport device(dev/ACM#) that the Roboclaw shows up as when it is connected to the R-Pi.
