MDDS60SerialSimplified.ino

/* 
 * This example shows how to control MDDS60 in Serial Simplified with Arduino.
 * Set MDDS60 input mode to 0b11001100
 *
 * Serial data (8-bits): 0bMDSSSSSS
 *   M: Select motor, 0 for left, 1 for right.
 *   D: Direction, 0 for CW, 1 for CCW.
 *   SSSSSS: Motor speed.
 *
 * Example: Value in Decimal
 *   0 or 64 - motor LEFT stop.
 *   63 - motor LEFT full forward.
 *   127 - motor LEFT full reverse.
 *   128 or 192 - motor RIGHT stop.
 *   191 - motor RIGHT full forward.
 *   255 - motor RIGHT full reverse.
