Air Pollution Installation Servo System

As the project is under development, this document is as well. Expect this to be continuously updated.

Servo Mapping

In order to have individual control over each motor, we'll need to define of some kind of coördination system. Since we will have only nine motors, this can be as simple as the following:

Class diagram

Great! We have labeled all the motors! Now we can think of software architecture. Below a class diagram is shown with a graphical (UML) representation of the classes we'll use to control this badboy.

Human explanation

The Steppa class

This is the class we will use to control a single stepper motor. It knows about the pins it's wired to and can be used to set the motor to a certain speed.

The Controller class

We will use this class for easier control over all motors together.
