ThunderBorg and MonsterBorg

I'm planning to use either a Makita 18V 3Ah power tool battery or the smaller Makita 12V 1.5/2/4 Ah battery. Since I have a bunch of these batteries and chargers for them (as I have the power tools) they seem like a reasonable choice, especially since I can be reasonably assured they can handle the load of several small motors -- something that might not be the case with a regular cell phone style LiPo battery (such as the 5000 mAh or 12000 mAh PiJiuce batteries).

Two questions related to my project:

I have attempted to control my thundeborg via a ps4 controller yet it does not seem to work. How would be able to control the speed of my motors via a ps4 controller?
Thanks

Hy,

for the TB Joystick (tbJoystick.py) steering i have the problem when i press a button for e.g. slower, fasten or spinning, the movement continues after i release the button until i press a new button or move the joystick. But this is not what i want. I tried a lot but got no solution, i am also not high experienced with programming so i am very happy of help of you.

The program is almost in the initial state, i just added the lines with definition shown in picture

Hi guys.

I have an Ardupilot flight controller that gives out PWM signals to control the motors. I would like to use my Thunderborg as a power module to my motors without using the Raspberry Pi.

Is there any way to control the Thunderborg directly by PWM signals?

Thenks in advance😊

Hello, i have write a code and test it in Thonny python IDE and it is working fine, but when i try to run it through the terminal (python myfile.py like that) it shows an error as following:

Loading ThunderBorg on bus 1, address 15
Missing ThunderBorg at 15
ThunderBorg was not found
Are you sure your ThunderBorg is properly attached, the correct address is used, and the I2C drivers are running?
Scanning I�C bus #1
No ThunderBorg boards found, is bus #1 correct (should be 0 for Rev 1, 1 for Rev 2)
No ThunderBorg found, check you are attached :

How many DC motors can you use for the Thunderborg motor controller?

Many Thanks

Hei.

Im using LSS05 sensor with Diddyborg v2 and thunderborg ,
which needs 5v to operate ( is not working in 3v3)
is there any ways to get 5v from Diddyborg v2 and thunderborg.

Do you have any up-to-date instructions to help pair ps3 controller with raspberry pi 4 running stretch?

Hi, can you tell me what the max load that the monsterborg can carry is? I'm looking for something that can carry approx 12kg, it only needs to travel at walking pace

kind regards

Hi,
(Sorry for my bad English but i'm a stupid french).

I finally managed to connect in bluetooth my raspberry PI 3 (monsterBorg) and my PS3 controller (It's an official Sony PS3 Controller).
