New tinypilot project
#1
Hi all, I am knew to this project and after reading all the wiki I started to buy some hardware. Here what I choose:
- raspberry pi zero w;
- motor driver (https://it.aliexpress.com/item/100500126...4c4dE8j4JX);
- compass (https://it.aliexpress.com/item/328811394...4c4dE8j4JX);
- linear actuator (https://it.aliexpress.com/item/328154262...4c4dE8j4JX);
- I already have an arduino one;

Now my next step is to connected all this hardware. Where can I find an easy schema?

thankx,
Emiliano

@sean, please can you help me to understand if I have to change anything in motor.ino sketch using VNH5019 motor shield? First of all, should I use it as H-bridge?
I there any need to change pin configuration in order to use this specific motor shield?

GOOD NEWS! My raspberry pi zero WH arrived. I flashed pypilot on a SD card and boot it. After a while I found a pypilot wifi hot spot and I connected to it.
Then I tried to open a SSH session with Putty and I managed to do it. Everything great.

Then I tried "python -V" and I discovered that is using "Python 2.7.13". It that ok? shouldn't be better using Python 3?
How can I change that?

Hi all, me again. Since my MPU-9255 from China is gonna take way too long to arrive I decided to find something nearer. Do you think this:

Is it ok?

It wont work because there is are no compass sensors.

Maybe in the future pypilot can support something like that if you also had a wind sensor but right now, even in wind mode you need a compass.
