I am thrilled to announce that the first content version of lightning is out.

The v1.1.0 adds new functions for chassis motion and a new brand arcade configuration.


What is new?

  • Added new arcade configuration 🕹️ (E_TANK_OP_ARCADE_DOUBLE_ALTERNATIVE) With this configuration now you can control de forward/backward movements using the right stick and control the turns using the left stick

  • New overloads for motion functions 🏎️

    • move_velocity(const int left_rpm, const int right_rpm)
    • move_voltage(const int left_voltage_mv, const int right_voltage_mv)
    • move(const int left_voltage, const int right_voltage)

    Now it is possible to control each side of the drive train. In previous versions you were just able to control the entire drive train.
