HELLO Motors

This is a library to allow developers to control the camera motors on Solaborate HELLO2, in order to achieve tilting functionality.

Sample usage (see the sample app for more complex examples) :

private var motorInteractor = CameraMotorInteractor()
motorInteractor.init()       // for example in onCreate
...
motorInteractor.sendCommand(MotorMovement.UP)
motorInteractor.sendCommand(MotorMovement.DOWN)
motorInteractor.sendCommand(MotorMovement.LEFT)
motorInteractor.sendCommand(MotorMovement.RIGHT)
...
motorInteractor.destroy()    // call it onDestroy, in order to close the connection 

Note that the movement is discrete, one call moves the motors for one 'unit of movement', a very low angle. To continually move, you must call it more than once.

   for (i in 1..20){
            motorInteractor.sendCommand(MotorMovement.LEFT)
            Thread.sleep(50)  // don't do this on UI thread.
        }

Change the timing between commands in order to adjust the perceived smoothness of movement.
