Purpose
Easily implement an Arcade style drive for a mobile robot.
When to use
If you have an Arcade styled drive system configuration, where a signal controls frontwardforward/backward motion and another one controls the rotation.
Where to use
In the void loop()
part of your .ino
file, since it’s a one time calculation that needs to be re-executed at short intervals.

Returns
This function does not return a value once it has completed its tasks.
Main prototype and parameters
static void Crc:: CrcLib::MoveArcade(int8_t forwardChannel, int8_t yawChannel, unsigned char frontLeftMotor, unsigned char backLeftMotor, unsigned char frontRightMotor, unsigned char backRightMotor)
The following parameters must be passed to the function for it to work properly:
forwardChannel
: The speed value used to control the forward/backward motion. Must be of the typeint8_t
(also calledsigned char
), so ranging[-128, 127]
.yawChannel
: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the typeint8_t
(also calledsigned char
), so ranging[-128, 127]
.frontLeftMotor
: The name of the PWM pin to wich which is connected the front left motor. Must be of the typeunsigned char
.backLeftMotor
:The name of the PWM pin to wich which is connected the back left motor. Must be of the typeunsigned char
.frontRightMotor
: The name of the PWM pin to wich which is connected the front right motor. Must be of the typeunsigned char
.backLeftMotorbackRightMotor
:The name of the PWM pin to wich which is connected the back right motor. Must be of the typeunsigned char
.
