Instruction book for Ranger robot

platformio.ini file should look like this:

[env:megaatmega2560]
platform = atmelavr
board = megaatmega2560
framework = arduino
lib_deps = https://github.com/bradamiller/Makeblock-Libraries.git

Initial program should look like this:

#include <MeAuriga.h>
#include "Chassis.h"

Chassis chassis;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  chassis.setup();
}

void loop() {
  chassis.setEffort(100, 100);
  delay(1000);
  chassis.stop();
  delay(1000);
}
