Re: Pi data to Arduino via SPI

This is such an interesting idea! The 32k of flash on the Arduino is not a lot, but you could keep a lot of .hex files on the Pi. I wonder if you can shutdown and restart the Pi from the Arduino? You could shut down the Pi to save power, and only restart it when needed. Run only essential processes ...

Re: Base sketch won't upload

Did you also select processor type, not just board?

Arduino pro w atmega328p 3.3v is working for me w MacOs, Windows and Linux.

Re: Is there an IMU on board?

This doesn't seem to be working, I expect it to return a heading but instead I am just getting "Heading: 0" constantly. Tried it with PresentHeading() and GetDegrees(). #include "Hardware.h" #define inputLow 100 #define inputHigh 1000 #define outputLow 0 #define outputHigh 70 int...

Re: Is there an IMU on board?

Ok I see that they differ from the documentation, GetHeading doesn't work but PresentHeading() and GetDegrees() are both present. Also saw some interesting comments on using the IMU to ...
