Returns

This function does not return a value once it has completed its tasks.

Main prototype and parameters

static void 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 type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].

• yawChannel: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].

• frontLeftMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the front left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• backLeftMotor:The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the back left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• frontRightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the front right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• backRightMotor:The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the back right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

Overloads

#1: Using only one motor per side

static void CrcLib::MoveArcade(int8_t forwardChannel, int8_t yawChannel, unsigned char leftMotor, unsigned char rightMotor)

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 type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].

• yawChannel: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].

• leftMotor.The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• rightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

#2: Directly using remote controller joystick values, with 2 motors per side

static void CrcLib::MoveArcade(ANALOG forwardChannel, ANALOG 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 type ANALOG.

• yawChannel: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the type ANALOG.

• frontLeftMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the front left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• backLeftMotor:The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the back left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• frontRightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the front right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• backRightMotor:The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the back right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

#3: Directly using remote controller joystick values, with only 1 motor per side

static void CrcLib::MoveArcade(ANALOG forwardChannel, ANALOG yawChannel, unsigned char leftMotor, unsigned char rightMotor)

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 type ANALOG.

• yawChannel: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the type ANALOG.

• leftMotor:he name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

• rightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to wich is connected the right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

Examples

#include <CrcLib.h>

void setup() {
    CrcLib::Initialize();

    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_1);
    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_2);
    
    /* 
    The rest of your setup code
    ...
     */
}
void loop() {
    CrcLib::Update();

    CrcLib::MoveArcade(ANALOG::JOYSTICK1_Y, ANALOG::JOYSTICK2_X, CRC_PWM_1, CRC_PWM_2);
    
    /* 
    The rest of your looping code
    ...
    */
}
