embedded system library for e-puck

Highlights:

• This is a library for developing the embedded system of the e-puck robot.

• Unlike the standard e-puck lib (has several modules), this library used all-in-one design (one header path, one .a file).

• The online documentation page of this library is http://jianingchen.github.io/epucklib/html/.

• Support pretty much everything on the e-puck but the audio related functionalities.

• A user-friendly and fast (40x15 @ ~18.4 fps) interface for e-puck's camera.

• Multi-tasking through Process --- so several loop with time delays can run concurrently.

• Simplify the development using two object-oriented concepts: Timer and Trigger.

• Timer can be used to produce delay, as well as creating periodic callbacks (similar to the agenda in the official library)

• A Trigger can automatically launch a Process once something happened, which let you do things only interrupts can do without dealing with hardware interrupts.

Environment:

• The project format in the distribution is for MPLAB X.

• This library has been developed and tested using XC16 compiler.

• This library currently only works on e-puck with the camera model PO6030K but NOT PO3030K.

License:

• All source files starting with "e_" are from the official e-puck library (http://gna.org/projects/e-puck), and attribute to whom ever own the copyright of them.

• This library is released under the terms of the MIT license:
