Agree. Virtualenv & virtualwrapper handle package dependancies and keep your global site-packages tidy. But it's not needed for embedded systems. I've build several robots with rpi's (computer vision, localization & planning) and arduino's (Uno/mega for sensors and actuators) and have never ...

Rangefinder.py shows the same problem. Looks like comms.ino returns strange values (255,255,255,255,255)? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (rover) pi@Rpi3bV1-2:~/rover/democode $ python volts.py Battery Voltage: register requested = 21 Wrong r...

ThnX for your answer. this question just contains some output of the "UNO-trial" I tried the other boards and processors extensively, every time reinstalling the driver as well. Tried a newer version of the driver (CDM21228). Halas nothing works. I'll wait for some time for answers and pro...

Seen it, been there.

I think it starts with problem in your other question (load the base sketch on the "Arduino") ?

I'm facing exact the same problem. Other posts and the Ringo-get-started site mention the board should be a po or pro-mini with atmega 328 and 8 Mhz clock. I tried all the other arduino settings one at a time, but none works. The programmer surely doesn't work as a uno.

Hi, I idownloaded CDM21216_Setup.exe from the site and installed the usb driver. Halas, when I try to upload the Spirit_BaseSketch_PiControl_Rev01.ino, I get the notorious averdude stk500_recv() error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Pff …. :? line 258ao makes the bot turn towards the highest value revieved, but it should always move forward: lightSeekMotorSpeed (=90) +/- lightSeekTurnStrength (=50). Since this is producing a reversed action, I can think of some possible causes: - Reversed polarity. Most likely, but you ruled th...

Agree. In my case such behaviour already occured in mode 2 at a tiled floor. Seems like the ir-line-followers are rather sensitive. (The youTube mentions it as well: preferably a solid white surface.) - Does the Spirit really run backwards (a couple of cm and more) or is it just a sort of shaking to...

Thank you, I was afraid of this :lol: Like I'm also afraid it is SPI as I read in Comms.ino, line 772 and further: // ************ SPI SLAVE COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS ************* // These functions handle incomming SPI data from an attached Raspberry Pi board Which probably implies chopping everythi...

First thought: check the jumpers under the left wing. If you, by accident, switched the polarity, the motors will work reversed.
