Revision history [back]

You can set them all up on a single network as is given here http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/NetworkSetup and they'll all be synchronized. Then you can have a simple subscriber on each pi that will start turning the motors whenever they receive a message. The third pi can be used as a master to publish a message when the motors are to be turned.
