Re: Raspberry Pi and RoboClaw Serial data Communication

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.
