Hello,
See here, I have two BBBWs and I want to test them w/ a connection to one another.
…
I am not completely sure what to research. I think this is my issue but any relative info. would be much appreciated.
I am making a small bot w/ linear actuators, some servos, and a couple Capes, e.g. MotorCape and Motor Bridge Cape or maybe the ServoCape instead.
Anyway, I am in a beginning phase of this bot now. I have tested all the inputs on the MotorCape on one BBBW (wireless). Standard input works as usual. I am esp. happy on this subject. The linear actuators go slowly towards their stoppage point and return to their respective starts w/ some input.
I was lucky to come across this fellow that helped me w/ some software input on making DC actuators move in reverse. Although this is all fine and dandy, the issue currently is the stalemate b/t the lack of motor support on the MotorCape and Motor Bridge Cape.
Currently, I do not know enough of the EEPROM definitions on the MotorCape. I could probably not stack two and have them work in cahoots.
A lot of searching and I have come to the conclusion that only so many people are willing to share in regards to the two BBBWs sharing info. b/t one another.
I mean, I can test UART connections b/t the two boards. This is not my concern. I am trying to use one script to control both boards. I mean, I can break them up and try that setup too.
I would rather have _________ work to make one script compiled communicate my interests to the boards at my disposal.
If you would be so kind as to point me in the right and definite direction, please do.
Seth
P.S. I keep getting stuck on searching that brings up UART communication. I am using PWM and GPIO onboard the two BBBWs for bot usage. If you need any info. from me, please dedicate it to this post. “Reaching out!”
