Motor control board

This board has been designed to completely replace what is known as the Student board.

##Differences from other boards

• 5V level shifter for SPI and other IO
• 5V ADC
• 5V PWM channel

##Function

The initial function of this board is to pas serial data to the student board, replacing the accelerator and brake inputs. This is simple and requires very little effort to communicate to the go-kart's electronics.

However it would be good to be able skip the student board, driving the control board directly. So all the hardware that is required is on the PCB.

##Code implemented on the board

Code to drive the 5V SPI has been written. It's using the ATMEL library to make this task simple and straight forward. However to replace the student board a lot of code still needs completing. Most of this shouldn't take a large amount of time, but it does need doing.
