### ⚙ Firmware + +The firmware is written in C++ and takes some inspiration from the 'SimpleFOC' project. It aims to be streamlined and readable without any extra fuss, focussing at the hardware ised in this project. +It implements path planning with look-ahead and unlike many other motion controller projects supports true 6DOF-Pose interpolation and planning making it ready for driving hexapod motion plattforms, that may or may not be the next step for this project. + +
