This module is designed to communicate with the PicoBorg Reverse
Use by creating an instance of the class, call the Init function, then command as desired, e.g.
import PicoBorgRev
PBR = PicoBorgRev.PicoBorgRev()
PBR.Init()
# User code here, use PBR to control the board
Multiple boards can be used when configured with different I²C addresses by creating multiple instances, e.g.
import PicoBorgRev
PBR1 = PicoBorgRev.PicoBorgRev()
PBR2 = PicoBorgRev.PicoBorgRev()
PBR1.i2cAddress = 0x44
PBR2.i2cAddress = 0x45
PBR1.Init()
PBR2.Init()
# User code here, use PBR1 and PBR2 to control each board separately
For explanations of the functions available call the Help function, e.g.
import PicoBorgRev
PBR = PicoBorgRev.PicoBorgRev()
PBR.Help()

Faults may indicate power problems, such as under-voltage (not enough power), and may be cleared by setting a lower drive power

* The supply is not powerful enough for the motors
The board has a bare minimum requirement of 6V to operate correctly
A recommended minimum supply of 7.2V should be sufficient for smaller motors
* The + and - connections for either motor are connected to each other
* Either + or - is connected to ground (GND, also known as 0V or earth)
* Either + or - is connected to the power supply (V+, directly to the battery or power pack)
* One of the motors may be damaged
Faults will self-clear, they do not need to be reset, however some faults require both motors to be moving at less than 100% to clear
The easiest way to check is to put both motors at a low power setting which is high enough for them to rotate easily, such as 30%
Note that the fault state may be true at power up, this is normal and should clear when both motors have been driven
If there are no faults but you cannot make your motors move check GetEpo to see if the safety switch has been tripped
