Definitive reference guide for Arduino_PortentaMachineControl

rholowczak · May 31, 2024, 9:22pm

Hi folks
After doing quite a bit of searching, I seem to have difficulty locating the official documentation for Arduino_PortentaMachineControl library.
What I am looking for is a comprehensive list of every class and method in the Arduino_PortentaMachineControl library.

I found this site: https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-machine-control/pmc-arduino-library/ and it has some comparisons with the deprecated Arduino_MachineControl.

In addition, I am wondering if it is possible to see the actual C++ source code for some of the classes. As an example, I have a potential use case where I would like to use the PMC to read a different type of sensor using the thermocouple inputs. For this, I need to read the raw voltage differential across the two input pins. Would this be found in the Arduino_PortentaMachineControl.h file? If so, where can I locate this file after I install the IDE?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers

R.
