ThunderBorg and MonsterBorg

As the ThunderBorg connects to the I2C bus, I'm having trouble figuring out how to add an RTC for my project.

Most of the external RTC modules I've come across use the I2C pins, so I was wondering if somebody could suggest a way to go about solving this.

Just wanted to see if someone would be interested in buying my MonsterBorg. Fully build and working order. Complete with Model 3B version and camera installed. Is this permitted?

Simply lacking the time to do anything with it.....

Would I be correct to assume that model as a 4 wheel differential drive?

Some context: In order to connect the MonsterBorg to the ROS ecosystem, I will create a thin wrapper around the ThunderBorg driver. I will then be able to leverage an existing high level controller and in order to select that I need to understand a bit about the technique the ThunderBorg uses to steer/drive the vehicle.

Looking at the code, I see we have Motors A and B (eg COMMAND_SET_A_FWD), which sets of wheels on the vehicle do these correspond to?

I am considering the MonsterBorg for an autonomous UVG research platform. As I need quite a bit of compute horsepower I will be using an Intel NUC i7. My query is related to whether I will be able to power and interface the NUC to the ThunderBorg board, directly.
Intel® NUC Kit NUC5i7RYH 87570

I am planning on using a USB to I2C converter to connect the NUC to the ThunderBorg and run the python driver on the NUC - which I can customise if necessary.

I wanted to quickly write up my experience on using a Lipo battery with my Monsterborg. It may give others considering this some reassurance on approach. Objective for me was to not rely on having to manage lots of AA batteries, everytime I looked on amazon for batteries and a charger they normally came in packs of 8 (monsterborg needs 10), and so getting all what was required for running and simultaneously charging would not have been cheap.

I'm a noob and not sure what I did or didn't do so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I have followed the build instructions and the MonsterBorg Web UI instructions but I receive a "no module named cv2" error when I run monsterWeb.py any ideas?

Has anyone looked at whether the ThunderBorg can work with a Raspberry Pi 4? Connecting with cables would be fine for my project, but I'm unsure about the 3 amps minimum requirement through the 5V DC GPIO header.

Thanks in advance for any feedback! :-)

Hi.

Is there any method to change the speed of the thunderborg.

Thanks

I bought the DiddyBorg V2. Is there a smart way to figure out what the current speed of the car is?

Hi,

I received my Thunderborg with Lid last week and installed it into my DiddyBorg robot. It worked fine and we were having great fun with the robot. Yesterday, I removed the batteries, recharged them and replaced them in the robot. There is now no reaction from the ThunderBorg.
