Since the battery life is limited I wonder if there are any plans to have docking station so that it can be programmed to return for a recharge.

Hello,
somehow I'm unable to install as I get a "301 Moved Permanently" error when running the install script!

Will there be a sheet plate of some suitable material be available for sale to attach to the bottom or indeed the top to provide protection when deployed in rough terrain please.

Hi,
3mm screws seem to be a bit too big for the mounting holes in the thunderborg. Should one use 2mm?
Also: is there a technical drawing of the thunderborg boards available?
Thanks!

Are there any examples for using the ThunderBorg with C++ or Java?
Is it possible anyway, using wiringPi maybe?

I am having trouble getting the thunderborg to run my stepper motor. I have the thunderborg connected to a 12v battery and the stepper motor is connected correctly. Ay first I was able to run the ./tbStepper.py program and take any # of steps. (this was about one week ago) but i am trying to take steps and it is not working now. I can take 1 or 2 steps at a time but if i take more than 10 steps at a time the voltage drops to <3v and the fail-safe kicks in. If i take 1 step at a time the board gets very hot.

Hello,
When I run one of the examples, which uses python2, it finds the board and outputs
Loading ThunderBorg on bus 1, address 15
Found ThunderBorg at 15
ThunderBorg loaded on bus 1
But, when I ran the ThunderBorg.py file through the 2to3 translator, imported it into a python3 script, and ran it, it outputs:

Hi,
do the SetMotor functions set the voltage of the output or is the motor power pwm regulated?
If my power source provides higher voltage than the outputs accepts, would it be best practice to drop the difference at input or on each output? (assuming both consumers a equal)
Thanks for any comments on the matter

Newbie and did search but wondering if with all the other stuff a Pi3 might be doing does it need all the guts running, or can some be removed to make it EVEN faster? TIA!

There is a way to check the Thunderbird after a short circuit on the Power? The raspberry boot without apparent problems
Tnx
