A library for controlling a LittleBits Arduino car

I created this for a Girls Code Lincoln (formerly Lincoln Girls Who Code) Club. It provides a simple interface to command a programmable car.

The Car

A Steam Student Set contains all the parts necessary to build the car with the addition of an Arduino Bit.

• x1 Mounting Board
• x1 Battery + Cable
• x1 Power
• x1 Button
• x1 Wire
• x1 Arduino
• x2 DC Motor (Tethered)
• x2 Wheel
• x1 Long LED (optional)

For more annoying fun, replace the long LED with a Buzzer to make a car horn.

Available Commands

car.speed = 127;          //Set the speed (values from 1 to 127)
car.stop();               //Stop the car
car.forward(1000);        //Drive forward for 1 second and then stop
car.backward(2000);       //Drive backward for 2 seconds and then stop
car.turnLeft(1000);       //Turn left for 1 second
car.turnRight(9000);      //Turn right for 9 second
car.zeroPointLeft(500);   //Turn left sharply for ½ second
car.zeroPointRight(1000); //Turn right sharply for 1 second
car.lightOn();            //Turn the light on
car.lightOff();           //Turn the light off
