Re: issues with PI SD Card .. Failing to boot... and a Heartbeat between PI and Arduino
Ok I will try this... We should really have a heartbeat over this gpio so that the PI can signal to the Arduino when it has shutdown.. I will check out the python code and see what I can do to add to it or make a kernel driver for it in C. 5 Sec is still not enough time for the PI to properly shutdo...

Re: issues with PI SD Card .. Failing to boot... and a Heartbeat between PI and Arduino
I just ran a test with the PI running Stretch and attached to a HDMI monitor. The Arduino was running the Spirit_BaseSketch_PiControl_Rev01 sketch. Hit power the led flashes for a few secs and then power down. The PI was still up at a screen no power down on the PI side. This is a huge problem and w...

Re: Trouble Programming Arduino
Kevin has posted the PDF getting started guide. Does anyone know what the original source for this doc is? I would be happy to edit it and update it with info like this.. and then check it in to one of the three repos i have created for the code : http://forum.plumgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8...

issues with PI SD Card .. Failing to boot... and a Heartbeat between PI and Arduino
Has anyone else seen an issue with the PI SD Card failing to boot and having to reformat the card? I am concerned that there is no heartbeat between PI and Arduino to handle the shutdown properly. I am going to post this here and also email Kevin. We need a heartbeat between the P{i and Arduino. Thi...

Trouble Programming Arduino
I found another post that tells what to set the environment to: Set the board type to “Arduino Pro or Pro Mini” and the processor type to “ATMega328p 3.3v 8mhz” NOTE: Kevin the Docs (PDF) should be changed to add this. it currently says the board is UNO. I have used the Arduino Programmer before (N...

Power Supply (Barrel) For the Rover
Can anyone share the URL or PN of a power brick for the barrel connector on the Rover. I am having a hard time finding one that is 5V and 2-3 AMPs that will fit. Found this on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JBRTH2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ordered will be here i...

Re: Quick Update - Working on Pi Code Today!!
I have a couple of github repos setup already for the PI code and Android App I am working on for controlling the Rover. I will setup a new repo for all the python code. You can add code to it.. I will take what has been released so far. the pixel code, etc.. and use this as a base for the new repo....

Re: Proposed Client -> Rasp Pi Control Software
Got more of the Android App UI Done. Will work on the PI server part and getting the two to talk with each other. Plan to stub out on the PI the commands for each of the actions from the App (rover move fwd, move back, turn left, turn right, etc..). These can then be tied into a linux kernel driver ...
