For this project I am using a Raspberry PI Zero W, the RasPiRobot v3f Board by MonkMakes.com (Simon Monk)
https://github.com/simonmonk/raspirobotboard3
This is still a work in progress, and I don't have everything working. But plan on adding at least the SWITCHES.
This is not a library, it just some working examples. IF your robot moves in the wrong direction you probably need to switch the motor wires.
See Simon Monks github for troubleshooting right motor issues.
To use the Arduino IDE you need to install the Raspberry PI board Core from this project: https://github.com/me-no-dev/RasPiArduino
This is an older project, I am not sure if it is still be supported or not. It does work, and it does work with the current Oct 2018 release of Raspbain Stretch.
Follow the setup closely, when it you get the step.
sed -i "s/PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
If you are using Stretch you need to edit the sshd_config manually, Look for
PermitRootLogin _something_
you'll want to make sure that is commented out, and below it add
PermitRootLogin yes
IF you run into problems, I suggest looking at the issues on the repository, while this is an older project, I found the information to be very good.
There are some limitations, the creator of RasPiArduino doesn't have any type of analogWrite, I am using a bit-bang method, that seems to work, at times the robot does seem to stutter a bit.
Most of the libraries don't work, so you need to come up with your own methods, luckly most of this is easy to do.
The Arduino project uses the same pin numbers that Simon Monk uses (GPIO numbers), I have included a couple of just pure tests C++ code samples (examples), using WiringPI with is using it's own pin numbers. And I've included a list of the pin numbers.
Make some more pure C++ examples (forward, backward, stop, ect).
Finish out the rest of the motor code (Right Turn, Backward, ect)
- Fork it!
