User Manual

Usage Examples

This library comes with two example sketches that you can load by going to File > Examples >

OrangutanAnalog. The example sketches that come with the OrangutanMotors library also make

limited use of this library.

1. OrangutanAnalogExample

Demonstrates how you can use the methods in this library to read the analog voltage of the trimmer

potentiometer in the background while the rest of your code executes. If the ADC is free, the program

starts a conversion on the TRIMPOT analog input (channel 7), and then it proceeds to execute the

rest of the code in loop() while the ADC hardware works. Polling of the isConverting() method allows

the program to determine when the conversion is complete and to update its notion of the trimpot

value accordingly. Feedback is given via the red user LED, whose brightness is made to scale with the

trimpot position.
