Arduino Programming Basics

The group performed several fundamental functions last week, as to figure out the first step of the AEV project. The functions were coded in the Arduino command window and then uploaded into the Arduino board. Basic functions such as celerate() were used to accelerate or decelerate motors according to the inputted arguments, motorSpeed() to initialize motor at percent power, goFor() to run the motor at the initialized value in seconds, brake() to cut down the power from motor and reverse() to reverse the polarity of the motor. Practicing these basic functions was a crucial introduction to the AEV project. Also, it is important to be familiar with these functions as the group is required to utilize the function more in the Week 2.
