Raspberry Pi - How to control motors...- hi man, thanks to share,
I have a question, since it is difficult for me to get this kind of shields
is it build with L293D ?
- While assembling the RTK MCB, I sort of messed up with the GPIO. The header for pin 25 got pulled out a little bit. Will this affect the robot? Thanks
- when I use the code "git clone https://github.com/the-rasperry-pi-guy/motor" the terminal ask to me the username, what do I have to type in?
- I think the link to the MCB is broken.
- does it work with 4 motors
- Would it not be better to use an RC speed controller (Like the ones HobbyKing sells) and PWM
- But what if you have more than 2 motors? Like, 8 motors, for example?
- Could theses wheels be controlled with light dependent resisters?? Cheers 
- +TheRaspberryPiGuy  I tried this. Followed all the instructions but it says that in the line GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) the 'module' object has no attribute 'setmode'. I am kind of a noob at all this so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
- Great video.  Thanks very much for putting this together.
-  Thanks. Do you cover somewhere how to vary the speed of the motors? Is this board on the Pi useful for that or do I need something else entirely?

Also, I'm assuming these boards could be mounted beside the Pi so I don't block all my pins that I need for other purposes.

- Yes Sir! This is a better video! Great work Matt!
- Would it be possible to wire 4 motors this way? For example stacking two of these boards onto the raspberry pi?
- Great video, thanks, I am going to be controlling roller blinds with my Pi via a 12v relay. I was going to use sensors to sense positions but was wondering if I could use the time command instead. There will be some tolerance in the timing but not as much as 1 second of motor movement. Is there granularity in the timing? I mean can the motor be controlled for say 3.7 seconds or would it have to be 4 seconds?
Thanks again :)

- In this tutorial I show you how to control a motor with your Raspberry Pi. By the end of this tutorial you will be able to control the direction of the motor, you will understand the basic principles of how that motor works and you will be able to decipher a simple Python program. Motors are one of the coolest things to control using your Raspberry Pi and if you follow my easy tutorial you'll have 'em spinning in no time!
