Hi Alex, it’s a bit hard to triangulate from the information you have provided. For a start, an Egg serial number looks like the word “egg” followed by 16 characters [0-9] + [a-f]. Generally the first...

Is there any functionality on the web portal to create a dashboard of sorts that combines last reading of multiple sensors? Or would it be better to look into a custom API to set this up? As an...

Hi @NT1, good to hear from you! We don’t have a dashboard builder at this time, but I like the sound of that :). At the moment, yes, you might want to try your hand at using the API to create one for...

@Zagadata Did you get the Bluetooth controlled Omnibot to work? What type of bluetooth module did you use? I was thinking of trying something similar but with a Actobatics Runt Rover.

I have been studying the WickedMotorShield library for use a MOTO4. What exactly is meant by “hard brake” versus “soft brake” since I don’t have an actual brake on the motors. Is one of these dynamic...

I would invite you to take a look at the H-Bridge IC datasheet, most notably the schematics and diagrams on page 4 of the PDF. Hard braking generates a “wheels locked” condition on the H-bridge. This...

If both outputs are driven low, that sounds like electrically connecting the two outputs, which would be another way of saying dynamic braking. As I understand it, “hard brake”, which is marked as a...

You can comment out the line that has #define INCLUDE_FIRMWARE_INTEGRITY_SELF_CHECK and it won’t verify the SPI flash against the internal flash.

I’ve also just posted the firmware you referred to at https://github.com/vicatcu/AQEV2FW_PM_CO_NO2B_ESP. The NO2B is because at some point the NO2 sensor manufacturer changes to the sensor that...

I would think so, yes… .we use the TinyGPS library in the code. So in principle you could pull the time in the same place we pull the latitude / longitude, save it in a variable and use it in the...
