Ez a példakód bemutatja, hogyan vezérelhetünk akár 4 lineáris aktuátort az Arduino Uno segítségével. LC-82 MultiMoto Arduino pajzs, azonban hasonló termékek is használhatók helyettesítőként. Ez a kód csak a MultiMoto egyes csatornáin érvényes áramkorlátokon belüli működtető modellekkel, például a PA-14 és a PA-14P modellekkel használható.

/* Példakód legfeljebb 4 aktuátor vezérléséhez a Robot Power MultiMoto illesztőprogram használatával. Hardver: - Robot Power MultiMoto - Arduino Uno Bekötés: - Csatlakoztassa az aktuátorokat a MultiMoto panel M1, M2, M3, M4 csatlakozóihoz. - Csatlakoztassa a negatív (fekete) pólust a jobb oldali, a pozitív (piros) pólust a bal oldali csatlakozóhoz. - Csatlakoztasson egy 12 voltos forrást (minimum 1 A motoronként terheletlenül, 8 A motoronként teljesen terhelten) a BAT csatlakozókhoz. Győződjön meg arról, hogy a pozitív és negatív pólus a megfelelő helyen van.
