MotorDriver

Summary

This is a small library for Arduino users to help them control DC motors in a cleaner fashion. The first incarnation of this library came about in late 2016 while I was still in college. I wrote it to control a robot for a class assignment, and it was the first big thing I ever wrote in a language that wasn't MATLAB. It worked really well, but I had no idea what I was doing and as a result it was extremely messy. This new version is a lot better and easier to understand, and it's basically just a wrapper around a bunch of Arduino functions so newbies can easily understand how it works if they have a rudimentary knowledge of how Arduino works. I hope that this also represents OOP in a way that young programmers can wrap their heads around.

I hope people find this useful!

TODO

• Test the Half-H class. I am waiting on the appropriate hardware to arrive in the mail. Once it gets here, I'll confirm that it works.
• Test TransmitterPot class.
• Write a function/program to help users determine transmitter/controller stick limits.
• m_scaleFactor stuff
  • Set value in constructor?
  • This could also be adusted via a hardware switch or pot (TransmitterPot object would handle this).
• Write a tutorial?
