The hardware is ready; now you can access this functionality from a Raspberry Pi. First, install the library associated with the control board, found at http://www.monkmakes.com/rrb3/. Perform the following steps:

Now you'll create some Python code that will allow you to access both the DC motors on your tracked platform. Here is some basic code that allows you to do this:

#!/usr/bin/python                                                               
 
import time 
from rrb3 import * 
 
rr = RRB3(9, 6) 
rr.set_motors(1, 0, 1, 0) 
time.sleep(1) 
rr.set_motors(0, 0, 0, 0) 
rr.sw1_closed() 

The lines of the code import the time...
