Finally, after postal delays from China and not being able to leave the house from a bad dirt road, I have everything I need to continue my coding studies with Arduino and the RPi. I’m pretty far behind so I’ll have to spend a lot of the next few days catching up.

I’m using Brian Hill’s (sentdex)  YouTube tutorial – Raspberry pi with Python for Robotics and the SainSmart 4WD Chassis Aluminum Mobile Robot Platform For Robot Arduino Raspberry Pi for both my Pi and Arduino projects.

So far I have been through two of the seven tutorials and written my first bit of Python code. I’ve attached one motor to the bridge and tested it and everything works fine so far
