Technical specifications for OctoMY™ hardware integration.
Did You Know?
OctoMY™'s hardware abstraction is designed for hobbyists - you don't need to write code to add new actuators. The actuator configuration system uses a declarative approach where you describe what hardware you have (servo on pin 9, DC motor on pins 5-6), not how to control it. OctoMY™ handles the low-level details.
