Arduino Library - Unimplimented/Undocumented commands

Post by JorgeP »

I have been going through the library code and inserted comments, page numbers, and location of documented information. Several of the udocumented commands may be just reserved/empty, but I would like to know if there are any usable undocumented commands not discused in the RoboClaw or MCP User Manuals.

Here is one change in the enum section I am working on in MCP2x.h which is a modified clone of RoboClaw.h . I hope someone else takes time to document the largly undocumented code because this is a ton of work to figure out what someone else was doing without any further information except the manuals.

Code: Select all

	enum {  
			M1FORWARD					=   0, // MCP User Manual Page 68
			M1BACKWARD 					=   1, // MCP User Manual Page 68

I also tried formatting everything to be much easier to read and find the appropriate documentation. The forum may trash some of that formatting.

I see there are many Common Commands for all devices, and some that will only work on specific devices, I am hoping to seperate out everything into seperate .h .c files to be more manageble. I am sort of confused with the naming conventions used but I realy want to change everything to be a tad more intuitive. Don't get me wrong, the Developer who wrote this lib spent alot of time and effort and I greatly appreciate his/her work.

I don't expect this to be finished any time soon. Any information will help greatly!
