Add support for other models
If none of the existing models fit your use case, you can create a modular resource to add support for it.
The micro-RDK works differently from the RDK, so creating modular resources for it is different. Refer to the Micro-RDK Module Template on GitHub for information on how to create custom resources for your micro-RDK machine. You will need to recompile and flash your ESP32 yourself instead of using Viam’s prebuilt binary and installer.
API
The micro-RDK motor API supports only the following client SDK API methods, which operate the same as in the full-featured RDK:
