This is an Arduino library that interfaces with the BV4604 motor driver board by ByVac.
By default this board is configured to be used with stepper motors.
This library does only support DC motors.
To use the full potential of this library,
it is strongly advised to change the mode of operation of this board.
To correctly configure this board, run the changeToMode0 example sketch from the Arduino IDE before using this library.
This library should work on any Arduino board that supports the Wire I2C library. However, it has only been tested on the ATmega328 (Nano/Uno).
The documentation for every method is described in the source code itself.
Download this repository as a .zip file and uncompress it. Rename the extracted folder to BV4604. Directly inside this folder you should see the BV4604.h, BV4604_registers.h and the BV4604.cpp files. Install the library by placing this folder inside the libraries folder. This folder is located in the Arduino install location (usally in Program files (x86)/Arduino). You may need to create this folder if this is your first time installing a library.

To use this library, first complete the installation steps and restart the Arduino IDE. Then connect the BV4604 to your Arduino as specified below:
- +L to 3.3/5V
- GND to Ground on Arduino and external power source for motors.
- SDA to SDA on Arduino
- SCL to SCL on Arduino
- +M to a power source for your motors.
After everything is connected, choose one of the examples to run from the Arduino IDE and press upload.
