Thunderborg compatibility
Forums:
Hi I already own a pi borg reverse but need another for my project. They have been unavailable for quite a while. To move ahead I was considering the new thunderborg as it's available from " modmypi"
Are the two boards compatible i.e. could I daisy chain them together and fun the same code ? I do realise there are differences in specs.
Cheers

ThunderBorg with PicoBorg Reverse
You certainly can daisy chain them and use both from the same Raspberry Pi :)
The code for PicoBorg Reverse and ThunderBorg is nearly identical, both libraries are very similar and many of the functions have the same name. For example
SetMotor1is in both versions and functions exactly the same.This means most code for PicoBorg Reverse can be used with ThunderBorg with only slight changes. You can also use both libraries in the same piece of code at the same time.
The list of available functions for the ThunderBorg can be found here: ThunderBorg - Getting Started.
