Have managed to get the rear wheels to spin forwards for two seconds then backwards for two seconds then stop for two seconds. Woo!

Video streaming from the Pi via Motion
Well yesterday wasn't too productive trying to get the Raspberry Pi camera module working with a programme called Motion. Going to try and use this for the video stream, but getting it to work seems to be a bit of a mission.
Have also ordered a soldering iron to start linking up to motors to the controller. Exciting times!

Items that had to be ordered..
A few things that are need...
The motor driver will allow me to connect two motors to the raspberry pi and will enable me to control them.
One motor for forwards and backwards and the other for left and right.

Basic connectors so that I can practice creating the circuit before i solder the components to a board.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111056754390?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
In addition I may add high power LED's to the headlights so the car can be operated in the dark.
Any other ideas drop me comment below

The car
Going to be removing the old board but using the motors and battery holder. I'll be using separate power circits for the motors and the Pi.
