| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## Usage |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +To use this library, you must have a properly powered Portenta Machine Control board running at 24V. Once you have ensured the correct power supply and established the connection, you can include the machine control library in your Arduino sketch and use its functions to manage the board features. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Here is a minimal example to control a digital output: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```cpp |
| 45 | +// Include the Arduino MachineControl library |
| 46 | +#include <Arduino_MachineControl.h> |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +void setup() { |
| 49 | + // Initialize the digital outputs module of the MachineControl library |
| 50 | + MachineControl_DigitalOutputs.begin(); |
| 51 | +} |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +void loop() { |
| 54 | + // Turn on the digital output at channel 0 |
| 55 | + MachineControl_DigitalOutputs.write(0, HIGH); |
| 56 | + delay(1000); |
| 57 | + // Turn off the digital output at channel 0 |
| 58 | + MachineControl_DigitalOutputs.write(0, LOW); |
| 59 | + delay(1000); |
| 60 | +} |
| 61 | +``` |
