Hello blog readers. First of all, thanks for reading – you make writing this blog worthwhile and it’s great to hear from a few of you from time-to-time, so keep those comments coming in.<\/p>\n

Very soon, I’m going to be writing a blog post about the various motor controller boards that are available for the Pi. I would like to provide a description of each one and a review of a) how easy it is to assemble (if necessary) b) how easy it is to use and c) value for money.<\/p>\n

I don’t, unfortunately, have the money to buy all the boards and do it myself, and I don’t have the time needed to review each board. So this is where the request for help comes in. Do you own a motor controller board? Have you assembled it and tried using it? If so, you may be able to help. I’m looking for co-authors for this blog post (with full credit given to contributors). I’ve already had a couple of submissions, so I think the idea is a valid one.<\/p>\n

So, if you can help by writing a couple of paragraphs about your favourite motor board (or even your least favourite), please contact me through the blog and let me know what you’ve got and what you think about it<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
