RoboticCar

Arduino library for controlling the movements of a 2wd robotic car using a H-bridge motor driver L298P

Install the library

Download this repository as a .zip file and from the Arduino IDE go to Sketch -> Include library -> Add .ZIP Library Then insert the "include statement" in your code:

#include <RoboticCar.h>

And create an instance of the library:

RoboticCar car(pwm1, dir1, pwm2, dir2);

Where:

• pwm1 is pwm pin to control the speed of motor 1
• dir1 is a pin to control the direction (forward or backward) of motor 1
• pwm2 is pwm pin to control the speed of motor 2
• dir2 is a pin to control the direction (forward or backward) of motor 2

Methods

To drive the car forwards or backwards, use the methods:

car.goAhead(speed);

or

car.goBack(speed);

Where speed is the pwm valued (0 to 100).

To turn the car to the right or left, use the methods:

car.turnRight(speed);

or

car.turnLeft(speed);

Where speed is the pwm valued (0 to 100).

It is also possible to rotate the car on its axis through the methods: car.rotateRight(speed);

or

car.rotateLeft(speed);

Where speed is the pwm valued (0 to 100).

To stop the car simply use: car.stop();

Here is also the possibility of creating custom movements, passing the speed and direction of each motor, using the command: car.customDirection(pwm1, dir1, pwm2, dir2);

For more information see the examples.
