Arduino DCMotor Library v1.0.0

Overview

The Arduino DCMotor library provides a simple and modular way to manage a DC motor connected to an Arduino board using the L293D motor driver.

Installation

1. Download the Library:

   • Click on the "Code" button in the GitHub repository.
   • Select "Download ZIP" to download the library as a ZIP file.

2. Extract the ZIP File:

   • Extract the contents of the ZIP file to your Arduino libraries directory.

3. Restart the Arduino IDE:

   • Restart the Arduino IDE to ensure that the library is recognized.

Usage

1. Include the Library:

   #include <DCMotor.h>

2. Instantiate the VibrationMotor object:

   // Specify the pins of the L293D motor driver: (A, B, S)
   // A --> direction A
   // B --> direction B
   // S --> speed pin (PWM)
   DCMotor motor(2, 4, 9); 

Features

• Constructor

     // Initialize the VibrationMotor with the specified Arduino pin.
     VibrationMotor(uint8_t motorPin);

• Turn the Motor On

     // Turn on the motor with a given speed. 
     // The speed in in range [-255, 255] where the sign determines the direction.
     void on(int speed);

• Turn the Motor On for a given time

     // Turn on the motor with a given speed and for a given time in millisec. After, the motor turns off.
     void on(int speed, int millisec);

• Turn the Motor Off

     void off();
