PegasusArm OS v1.0.0: Semi-fuctional position control, completed framework

After four months, the PegasusArm OS internship project has come to its end. An entire electromechanical system with software interfacing has been created from scratch in order to control the Amatrol Pegasus robot arm using a transparent system aimed to offer the ability to further educate students and staff on robot theory.

Although many things can still be improved and created, the framework for creating new functionalities is now present, completing the goal of the internship. The position control (which tends to be relatively reliable, but should still be used with sufficient caution) is a proof-of-concept of the things that can be done with this new control system, also utilizing the various functions that rely on robotic theory in the codebase.

For those considering working further on the PegasusArm OS: Please contact me if you need access/rights to the repository. The project is in your hands now, I hope my work has not been in vain! Best of luck, go do something great.
