Arduino Commands

The page explains how to control the ORB using the commandline system

All of the ORBs are controlled using a command line system. The command line system is the same for all versions of the ORB. It doesn't matter whether you are using an Acceroires ORB V2 or Model ORB V3, the command structure is the same. The only differences are the values that can be stored by default.
