I came up with a simple way of changing code in a nano box. I just copied and pasted new code into the box, and when saving it, got message if I wanted to overwrite. Y will then overwrite the older code. Not sure if this is the accepted way, but worked for me.

Got it! Followed your useful instructions, and got the motor working first time. Easy-peasy when you know how. Now I am having probs editing the nano text file. I really want to delete all of it, and copy in more code tweaking the variables to increase motor speed. There is a guide at the bottom of ...

Am I right in thinking that any GPIO code written directly to Terminal (on Mac) needs to be given a name, saved, then put in a named file, then referred to in the script before it can run? I hope I have got this right. My SD card already includes the ...

What should happen now? Return ...

Well, I have the latest pre-installed SD image of Wheezy, which I think has Python by default.

How can I delete ones I no longer use, or which have previously been added? Is it possible to have t...
