Pololu Motor Controller Daisy Chains
#10
I'll go ahead and paste the code, 'cause...  http://rebeldroids.net/gallery/displayim...1&pid=1432

Code:
//
// HO15 Brain Program
//
// On an Arduino Leonardo or ...
// Nano, etc would need Serial1 changed to Serial
//
#include "FastLED.h"
// Hardware serial is used to multiplex motor controllers as we have
// lots of motors on L115.  Most communication will be the "pololu
// protocol" so that we can select which controller to ask.
//
// Motors are on Serial1 (Arduino Leonardo)
// LEDs are on Pin 6
//
// If needed, we'll use software serial for other devices.
//
// First & Second motor controllers contain R/C inputs
//
// First motor controller is queried for battery voltage for failsafe
//
// RX will get power from controller 1
// Motors
#define FRONT_LEFT  13
