Installing the Libraries

To get the libraries you will need to get each one from the club bitbucket account (mercurial repository, don't worry if that doesn't mean anything to you) Once you have each library you will need to extract them to the libraries folder inside your maple ide install folder.

The motor driver library

Go to the motor driver bitbucket location. Near the top right you will see a link which says get source >> Click that and select zip (if in windows) or whatever you like if in linux. When you extract this file you will get somethinglike: andreNZ-battleblimpsmotordriverlibrary-00984f733ce1 with a folder called BattleBlimpBoard inside. You want to copy the BattleBlimpBoard folder into the libraries folder inside wherever you maple IDE is installed.

Please note that this library is not 100% done yet. It does not have an elegant way of using the FETS yet. Also, it is based on the adafruit motor shield code and we haven't yet ported over everything yet. So currently no stepper motor support and no servo support (though you don't really need this library for servo support, see the maple servo library )

The Led Library

We also have a very simple library which has a couple of methods to make your led blink (on off and toggle) This is kinda handy if you want to use your second led for indicating something. The main purpose I wrote it is a simple demonstration of how the libraries work in case you want to poke around inside the other libraries. (They are all just C++ code) Get it from here. Follow the same procedure above.

The Radio Library

Currently still porting this guy
