Edison Mini Board has no connection at pin A

[Legendaire]

var five = require("johnny-five"); var Edison = require("edison-io");

var board = new five.Board({ io: new Edison() });

board.on("ready", function() {

console.log("board ready");

var motorA = new five.Motor({controller: "GROVE_I2C_MOTOR_DRIVER", pin: "A", });
var motorB = new five.Motor({controller: "GROVE_I2C_MOTOR_DRIVER", pin: "B", });

results in this:

I believe this was resolved in https://github.com/rwaldron/galileo-io/commit/f737e8739cf4c4766bc46bdb90986aa716557381

Are you using this with the Arduino Breakout or Mini Breakout? If it's the Mini, how are you connecting the grove motor driver?

[rwaldron]

Can you confirm both:

• Version of Johnny-Five
• Version of Edison/Galileo-io

From the Gitter channel:

I am using the sparkfun console block as my base.

How is that connected to the Grove Motor Driver?

[Legendaire]

I am using the Sparkfun Base block. I misspoke about the console block earlier. I was using whatever the latest edison-io was and it was giving the error. I wiped and flashed one of my Edisons only to get the same error again. I switched to galileo-io and the error went away.

[rwaldron]

Well, Edison-IO is just an alias for Galileo-IO ;)

[Legendaire]

I wonder why it didn't work. Odd.

Ok, but this error is no longer an issue?

[Legendaire]

I believe it is working now with galileo-io. I have not retested edison-io and have no idea why it wouldn't have worked to begin with. I'd say it's fixed. If not, we can always reopen the case.
