    no aus servers makes me mad
  6. When you write code on python it puts the date time and other crap up the top it was reading that crap and i didn't realize i thought it was part of python i didn't see it was putting in in the code
  7. So its me again and i have more questions so here is the code im using and im geting a syntax error when trying to launch it though terminal here is the error : here is the code import RPi.GPIO as ioio.setmode(io.BCM)import sys, tty, termios, time# These two blocks of code configure the PWM settings for# the two DC motors on the RC car.

  8. so im doing this project for systems at my school and i wanted to see if any of you guys could help me out i following this schematic (http://www.instructables.com/file/FITCK97HO0Q9M29/?size=ORIGINAL) and i know abit about the l293d and i pretty sure in the schematic he has miss placed two wires these So what do you guys think i tried to show where i think they should go do you guys agree or not? Btw i posted this here because theirs not section on the forum that caters for this kind of stuff
  9. If he's a dick drop him find better friends worth your time
  10. You sound like quite the dick friend then
  11. Yer give them a ring if that dont work email pccasegears sales team they will help you out
