ATX2 Arduino Library Guide
This guide introduces a custom Arduino library for the ATX2 board. It includes functions for
controlling motors, buzzer, LEDs, and sensors, with sample code for testing. The ATX2 library
simplifies programming robots using the ATX2 board, making it easier to control movement, sound,
and inputs.
Library Files
The library consists of two files: ATX2.h and [Link]. Place them inside a folder named 'ATX2' in
your Arduino libraries folder.

}

}
Functions & Syntax
1. Motors - motorLeft(speed): Controls left motor (-255..255) - motorRight(speed): Controls right
motor (-255..255) - motorStop(): Stops both motors 2. Buzzer - buzzerOn(): Turns buzzer ON -
buzzerOff(): Turns buzzer OFF - beep(duration): Beep for duration (ms) 3. LEDs - ledOn(pin):
Turns ON LED at given pin - ledOff(pin): Turns OFF LED at given pin 4. Sensors -
readLineSensor(pin): Reads analog value (0-1023) - readButton(pin): Reads button state (LOW =
pressed)
Example Programs
Example 1: Move Forward then Stop
-------------------------------------
#include <ATX2.h>
ATX2 bot;
void setup() {
[Link](200);
}
void loop() {
[Link](200);
[Link](200);
delay(2000);
[Link]();
[Link](500);
delay(1000);
}
Example 2: Line Sensor Reading
-------------------------------------
#include <ATX2.h>
ATX2 bot;
void setup() {
[Link](9600);
}
void loop() {
int leftValue = [Link](A0);
int rightValue = [Link](A1);
[Link]("Left: ");
[Link](leftValue);
[Link](" Right: ");
[Link](rightValue);
delay(200);
}
Example 3: Button Control
-------------------------------------
#include <ATX2.h>
ATX2 bot;
void setup() {
[Link](9600);
}
void loop() {
if ([Link](2) == LOW) {
[Link](100);
[Link](150);
[Link](150);
} else {
[Link]();
}
}
