Hi timon - I am waiting for my little Micro SD card board to arrive from China. As soon as it arrives I will be trying to connect it, just need to work out what pins to use :)

Wipy, Servos and SD Cards

Hi everyone Apologies in advance for the supreme level of noob on display here. I am in the process of building a 'Bob the Biped' robot (a version of this http://www.instructables.com/id/BoB-the-BiPed/ ) Rather than going for the straightforward Arduino/PIC control I want to run mine with my WiPy; I...

Controlling a Motor Driver using the WiPy

Hello everyone! So, I'm over my power issues :-) and now I want to get started with writing a script to run on the WiPy! Here's my plan so far: I would like to put the WiPy in a project to control a L298N motor driver board; the board requires 4 pins to run, two for each motor. Any GPIO pins will do...

Using Blynk to add a nice user interface wou...

I now have a working 5v power supply attached and have a much more regula...

I have been having trouble getting the board to run, however; I have connected power to the vin and ground to ground, however after a second the heartbeat starts to flash rapidly; the WiPy does not appear...
