static void OrangutanMotors::setM1Speed(int speed)

void set_m1_speed(int speed)

This method will set the speed and direction of motor 1. Speed is a value between -255 and +255.

The sign of speed determines the direction of the motor and the magnitude determines the speed. A

speed of 0 results in full brake (full coast on the Orangutan X2) while a speed of 255 or -255 results

in maximum speed forward or backward. If a speed greater than 255 is supplied, the motor speed

will be set to 255. If a speed less than -255 is supplied, the motor speed will be set to -255.

static void OrangutanMotors::setM2Speed(int speed)

void set_m2_speed(int speed)

This method will set the speed and direction of motor 2.

static void OrangutanMotors::setSpeeds(int m1Speed, int m2Speed)

void set_motors(int m1Speed, int m2Speed)

This method will set the speeds and directions of motors 1 and 2.
