Re: Skid steer robot not turning

Sorry perhaps I didn't explain it well enough, or where I'd got to well enough. If I take the robot off the floor then I can see the wheels turning as expected - one side going forwards and the other backwards. And it's the example piconzero example code I'm using, so I'm pretty sure the software si...

Skid steer robot not turning

I'm trying to use a piconzero to drive a four-wheeled robot (two micro-metal motors attached to each connector) and whilst it can happily go forwards and backwards, I can't get it to turn.

Re: Virtual Machine Guest

Has any one tried this with the latest Desktop image (2018-06-27-rpd-x86-stretch.iso)? I've installed the Guest Additions, but I'm still not finding that when I resize the VM window that the Pi screen resizes. I've checked and Auto-Resize Guest Display is enabled. Any further tips? Or is there a goo...

Accessing astro-pi via Scratch

Has anyone looked at making one of these accessible via Scratch? I know it's not valid for the competition, but trying to find an easier way in for some KS1 children.
