Aria  2.8.0
demo.cpp

General purpose testing and demo program, using ArMode classes to provide keyboard control of various robot functions.demo uses ArMode subclasses from ARIA. These modes provide keyboard control of various aspects and accessories of the robot, and can be re-used in your programs if you wish. The ArMode classes are defined in ArModes.cpp.

"demo" is a useful program for testing out the operation of the robot for diagnostic or demonstration purposes. Other example programs focus on individual areas.
