demo.cpp

General purpose testing and demo program, using ArMode classes to provide keyboard control of various robot functions.

ArMode classes are pre-made classes that provide keyboard control of various aspects and accessories of the robot. "demo" is a useful program for testing out the operation of the robot for diagnostic or demonstration purposes. Other example programs focus on individual areas.
