Olinuxino A13 wifi with robot rover

Hello jwischka. I probably won the arduino but I will  get it after next week . In the meantime, could you give me some more information on the management of GPIO for my purpose,please? Maybe starting from the management of the infrared sensor, I think it's easier.
As you may have noticed I have the ideas a little confused. what I really needed is a general overview on the job to do ( and why it is too big). Perhaps you could let me know about some keywords in the way to search the relative documentation and begin to understand something 

thanks

Hi,
I was able to blink  the green status LED following this post  http://olimex.wordpress.com/type/aside/

In this post  http://olimex.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/a13-olinuxino-gpio-python-libraries/

I can read

A13-OLinuXino as any Linux platform can run Python language, what we were missing was GPIO library which to allow Python users to have access to A13-OLinuXino GPIOs.

Now this library is done!

I also found this http://thingswatihavedonewithmyraspberrypi.blogspot.it/2012/10/controlling-bigtrack-motors-with-my.html where there is a Python code able to control the motor drive that I have got...


is this the way?

thanks

I mean, in general, yes. All of the GPIO pins will be different, and may need to be set up differently, of course.

Thank you.   I will work on it

Thank you.   I will work on it

Yeah - what they're doing there is the right sort of approach, so it's a good starting point. Just expect to change some things moving it over to the A13, and don't expect it to work correctly the first time .
