+Arduino Octave
+==============
+A class to control an Arduino board using the Firmata protocol.
+I kept most functions identical to Matlab's version for compatibility.
+
+The StandardFirmata.ino firmware needs to be loaded to your development board. 
+Serial communication is the only form possible right now.
+
+Additional features will be added later.
+version 1.0.0

+Initialization
+==============
+
+arduino(Port, Board, Voltage)
+-----------------------------
+Starts the class. All parameters are optional, the serial port should be automatically found
+(only tested on Linux). Board is to keep compatibility with Matlab and to help determine the
+maximum voltage. Voltage is a way to manually set the maximum voltage (5V on Uno, 3.3 on ESP32, etc).
+Note that Voltage is not compatible with Matlab. 
+
+Returns the arduino object (used for every other function).
+
+If this is run without a parenthese (;) at the end, it will display the 
+serial port, board name (defaults to 'Uno'), all available digital and analog pins, 
+and the max voltage value being used with voltage functions.
+
+General Commands
+================
+
+configurePin(obj, pin, mode)
+----------------------------
+If the `mode` is specified, this will set the desired pin to that mode. If not, it simply
+returns the mode already on the pin. 
+
+|      `Mode`      |
+|------------------|
+| 'AnalogInput'    |
+|'DigitalInput'    |
+|'DigitalOutput'   |
+|    'I2C'         |
+|    'PWM'         |
+|   'Servo'        |
+|    'SPI'         |
+|  'OneWire'       |
+|  'Stepper'       |
+|  'Encoder'       |
+|   'Unset'        |
+
+readDigitalPin(obj, pin)
+------------------------
+Reads the value of a digital pin. This can also be used on analog pins.
+It will automatically set the pin mode if it is not 'DigitalInput' or 'Pullup'.
+
+Returns `[val,err]` where val is 1 or 0, err is 1 if an error occured during the process. 
+Note that err is not compatible with Matlab. 
+
+writeDigitalPin(obj, pin, val)
+------------------------------
+Writes a value to a pin. This can also be used on analog pins. 
+It will automatically set the pin mode if it is not 'DigitalOutput'.
+
+
+readVoltage(obj, pin)
+---------------------
+Reads the voltage on an analog pin. It will automatically
+set the pin mode if it is not 'AnalogInput'.
+
+The output value will be scaled from 0-1023 to 0-5V. Note that this is an
+approximation, and the actual maximum voltage will not be 5V without a good
+power supply.
+
+Returns `[volt,value,err]` where volt is the approximate voltage, value is the 
+raw value (0-1023), and err is 1 if an error occured during the process.
+Note that only volt is compatible with Matlab.
