Now that I have a Rspberry Pi driving an RC car via an HTML interface, my thoughts turned to wondering if I could use Scratch to drive the car.
First thoughts are how do I get scratch to interface to my GPIO pins to drive the car, and secondly whether scratch is on the tablet to do the control, or on the Raspberry Pi wih a programming interface on the tablet.
Possible links to investigate:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/scratch-2-raspberry-pi/ Looks good.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/scratch/ Basic, but leads to previous
It might be easier than I think.

And we are up to scratch 3 in 2019
This last suggests a simple electronics extension that could be useful.

Memory Cards, Applications and RC-Cars
This is doing my head in, so I have to get it down. I almost need a multidimensional spreadsheet.
My memory cards are numbered. The RC-car apps that I have developed are numbered, and the Cars themselves are numbered.
I did do some tests to see which cars would work with a PWM speed control, but I can't find the record of that experiment.
So CArd 4 is now in RC-Car 3
And Card 7 is in RC-car 2. Card 10 is a duplicate of card 7
Card 4:
App-py-7 PWM control of motor
Steering is 2 pin on/off control
App-Py-8 steering is PWM-servo
Motors driven by 2-pin on/off control
App-Py-PWM-Test Motor control calculating PWM duty cycle
no steering
App-py.old -> backup of py-7
CArd 7:
App-py 2-pin on/off control for both motors Dated 2018-10-31 - An early one.
using GPIO 18/23 and 10/11
Card 3:
App-py 2-pin on/off control for both motors Dated 2018-10-31 - An early one.
using GPIO 18/23 and 10/11
with double push on forward to stop. (31-1-2019)
