In this release we added new methods and fixes:

• you can detected if the robot is lifted with the new method: get_lifted()
• multithreading improvements

Note: AlvikCarrier firmware version 1.1.1 is required to run Arduino Alvik library 1.1.1

1.1.0 - updates 🎉

🚨 New features:

⚙️ servomotors, now it is possible to call also alvik.servo_<label>.set_position(<degrees>), also get_position() is available;
🪇 movements detection, it is possible to call methods such as on_shake() and on_<axis>_tilt();
🗣️ i2c rework, it is possible now to use alvik.i2c as qwiic or Grove I2C, take a look in examples
🪫 battery, new behaviour available by default, at 20% Alvik will blink red and at 10% it stops motors asking to be charged, method to check charging is availble;
🛞 wheels, position is now blocking, it is possible to set as non-blocking by a parameter such as move and rotate methods;
🤖 versioning, it is possible to check the firmware version compatibility and versions by: get_lib_version() and get_fw_version();
🔥 minor fixes and thread performance improvements

🚨 NOTE:

Since this release firmware version is checked, so update also Alvik firmware with right version is required.
It is possible to find here.

Now Alvik will check constantly the battery charge!
Under 20% it will start blinking red leds and under 10% it will stop motors. Please take care of charging your Alvik
