This is an Arduino compatible library for Dreamster.
It can also be used as a standalone library without installing it to the Arduino libraries folder (copy the .h file into your project folder and include it in your .ino file.)
Copy Dreamlib.h and Dreamlib.cpp to a folder inside your Arduino libraries folder, and then include it:
#include <Dreamlib.h>
Alternatively, copy only the Dreamlib.h file into your project folder, and then include it with #include "Dreamlib.h" (using quotes).
Instantiate features without any parameters to use them.
Motors motors;
InfraredSensors ir_sensors;
UltrasonicSensors us_sensors;
Leds leds;
Used simply with .go(left_speed, right_speed), where positive speeds (in percentage) make the motor go forward, and negative speeds make the motor go backwards.
motors.go(100, -25) // make the robot turn to the right
Can also use the individual methods for changing speed or direction of each motor:
motors.setLeftSpeed(100);
motors.setRightSpeed(25);
motors.setLeftDirection(FORWARD);
motors.setRightDirection(BACKWARD);
Called with .left() or .right(), returns 0 to 1023.
left_sensor_value = ir_sensors.left();
Called with .a() (front sensor), .b() or .c() (the sensors from the side), returns distance in cm (typically 0 to 400).
distance_from_front_sensor = us_sensors.a();
Can specify a maximum distance to speed up sensing with .setMaximumSensingDistance(distance_in_cm).
Turn on, turn off, or toggle the red, blue and green leds individually.
leds.redOn();
leds.blueOff();
leds.greenToggle();
Real examples of the Dreamlib go in this folder.
Some programs used to test both the software and the hardware of the Dreamster robot go here.
None of these use the Dreamster library.
