Initial Release v1.0.0

Basicmicro Arduino Library v1.0.0

Features

• Complete support for Basicmicro RoboClaw motor controllers
• Comprehensive motor control functionality:
  • Duty cycle control (-32768 to +32767)
  • Speed control with encoder feedback
  • Position control with acceleration/deceleration
  • PID parameter configuration
  • Current monitoring and limiting
• Compatible with hardware and software serial on Arduino platforms
• Works with Arduino boards, ESP8266, ESP32, and other Arduino-compatible hardware

Highlights

• Full command set for controlling motors, reading sensors, and configuring parameters
• Simple connection: just TX/RX pins and common ground
• Extensive examples for different control methods
• Support for reading encoder values, speed, current, and battery voltage
• Configuration options for PID settings, current limits, and non-volatile memory

Documentation

The library includes complete examples for:

• Basic initialization and connection
• Motor control (duty cycle, speed, position)
• Reading sensor data (encoders, speed, current, voltage)
• Advanced control with encoder feedback
• Configuration settings

This release provides a comprehensive interface for communicating with Basicmicro motor controllers using serial communication, making it easy to integrate these controllers into Arduino projects.
