miStepper

This library contains the files and support for creating and installed code for the miStepper Device.e with this device).

Linked libraries:

milibrary

This library makes use of an extra repository - 'milibrary', which is not included within this repository; due to it being a seperate one. So this will need to be included...

It doesn't matter were this is stored, however it should be at a high enough level that any lower level scripts can make reference to it.

Issues #4 and #5 fixed
Issue #7, partial progress has been made on working this - mainly that a single task now exists for the motors
Submodules introduced for the 'miStepper_ROS' and 'miLibrary' repositories so as to manage which version(s) are appliable to this

v1.0.0

Major update of build, changing the electronics (PCB):
1. PCB/Electronics updated to include new Stepper IC - (issue #1)
2. Hardware filtering on the voltage/current monitors
3. Extra temperature sensors added - 2 onboard sensors, and 2 external sensors
4. CAN interface improved, such that it not is compliant to the protocol/hardware
5. 4 layer PCB, to aid thermal cooling
Software code updated:
1. Supports latest release of 'milibrary' - v0.2.1
  - Closing issue #3
2. Update to support latest hardware additions
  
  Note, external sensor support not provided currently, to be added in next release
3. Re-structing of the code, such that it follows the 'Layered Software Architecure' as per milibrary wiki - (issue #2)

v0.1.0

Initial release (to be used with milibrary v0.1.0)
