how to connect DHB10 motor controller board to raspberry pi directly without propeller activity board?
Is it possible?
i need pin connection and any extra setup is required like installing some packages?
please help
For PWM controls, use CH1 to control Motor 1, the left motor, and CH2 to control Motor 2, the right motor.
Under a default configuration, use a 1 ms pulse for full reverse, a 1.5 ms pulse for no movement, and a 2 ms pulse for full forward.
To maintain motor power, send a pulse at least every 250 ms.

On page 5 of the Product Guide, just under the PWM section, there is the Serial section.
Serial
-----
Under a default configuration, connect a bidirectional serial port at 19,200 kilobaud, to CH1.
For different baud rates or separate transmit and receive pins, see the BAUD and RXPIN commands.
As for how to use these commands, look at the different microcontrollers controlling an Arlo robot that uses the DHB-10.
The Propeller uses C, The BASIC Stamp uses a customized BASIC, and the Arduino also uses C.
I don't know what language(s) or microcontroller(s) you are familiar with so start with the one that seems the simplest. http://learn.parallax.com/tutorials/arlo

There's a couple other threads that mention interfacing to Pi.
Might help ?
there no one has mention about connecting raspberry pi to DHB10
thank you VonSzarvas for your time

General use starts on Page 4.
On Page 5 it says, "The DHB-10 will respond to PWM pulses until it receives serial data on the CH1 pin".

You will need this document for all the DHB-10 commands.

If you have further questions then ask.
I found this, but I don't know if it's useful.
