This release brings a simple serial protocol which can be used to communicate with the Arduino and a master computer, such as a Raspberry Pi 4.

This version is related to Episode 06 of the series, Building an Autonomous Robot From Scratch.

Changes since v1.1.3

New Features

• serial_protocol: A very simple serial protocol to control the robot using the motor_controller. Refer to the README.md for more information.
• motor_controller: A new method move_open_loop has been created to control motors with PWM
• motor_controller: A new method get_motor_status has been created to get motor's data to send when requested
• motor_controller: A new method reset_pose has been created to reset robot's pose to 0
• motor_controller: A new method move_forward has been created which set's the robot to move forward at 0.3 m/s
• motor_controller: A new method move_backward has been created which set's the robot to move backwards at -0.3 m/s
• motor_controller: A new method turn_left has been created which set's the robot to move backwards at 0.5 rad/s
• motor_controller: A new method turn_right has been created which set's the robot to move backwards at -0.5 rad/s
• motor_controller: A new method stop has been created which stops the robot's movement
