+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Build & Upload
+
+This is a single-file Arduino sketch (`Gaugecontroller.ino`). Requires the **FastLED** library (`arduino-cli lib install FastLED`). Use the Arduino IDE or `arduino-cli`:
+
+```bash
+# Compile (replace board/port as needed)
+arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:mega Gaugecontroller.ino
+
+# Upload
+arduino-cli upload -p /dev/ttyACM0 --fqbn arduino:avr:mega Gaugecontroller.ino
+```
+
+Serial monitor: 115200 baud (`Serial` is both CMD_PORT and DEBUG_PORT).
+
+## Architecture
+
+The sketch controls `GAUGE_COUNT` stepper-motor gauges using a trapezoidal velocity profile and a simple text serial protocol.
+
+### Key data structures
+
+- `GaugePins` — hardware pin mapping per gauge (dir, step, enable, active-high/low polarity flags, `ledCount`). Declared `constexpr` so `TOTAL_LEDS` can be computed from it at compile time. Configured in the `gaugePins[]` array at the top.
+- `Gauge` — per-gauge runtime state: position, target, velocity, accel, homing state machine, sweep mode.
+
+### Motion control (`updateGauge`)
+
+Each call to `updateGauge(id)` in `loop()` computes `dt` since last call and updates velocity using a braking-distance check to produce smooth trapezoidal motion. Steps are accumulated as floating-point and emitted via `doStep` when the accumulator crosses ±1.
+
+### Homing sequence (`updateHoming`)
+
+State machine: `HS_START → HS_BACKING → HS_SETTLE → HS_DONE → HS_IDLE`.  
+Backs up `homingBackoffSteps` at `homingSpeed`, waits 100 ms settle, then declares `currentPos = 0`. No physical end-stop is used; homing is purely time/step-count based.
+
+### Sweep mode
+
+When `sweepEnabled`, `updateSweepTarget` bounces `targetPos` between `minPos` and `maxPos` autonomously.
+
+### LED strip
+
+One shared WS2812B strip is driven from `LED_DATA_PIN` (default 6). Each gauge owns a contiguous segment of the strip; `gaugePins[i].ledCount` sets the segment length (0 = no LEDs). `TOTAL_LEDS` is computed at compile time via `constexpr sumLedCounts()` — no manual constant to keep in sync. Per-gauge offsets into the flat `leds[]` array are computed once in `setup()` into `gaugeLedOffset[]`. `FastLED.show()` is called immediately after each `LED` command.
+
+### Serial command protocol
+
+Commands arrive as newline-terminated ASCII lines. Each `parse*` function in `processLine` handles one command family:
+
+| Command | Syntax | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `SET` | `SET <id> <pos>` | Move gauge to absolute step position |
+| `SPEED` | `SPEED <id> <steps/s>` | Set max speed |
+| `ACCEL` | `ACCEL <id> <steps/s²>` | Set acceleration |
+| `ENABLE` | `ENABLE <id> <0\|1>` | Enable/disable driver output |
+| `ZERO` | `ZERO <id>` | Mark current position as home without moving |
+| `HOME` | `HOME <id>` / `HOMEALL` | Run homing sequence |
+| `SWEEP` | `SWEEP <id> <accel> <speed>` | Start sweep (0/0 stops) |
+| `POS?` | `POS?` | Query all gauges: `POS <id> <cur> <tgt> <homed> <homingState> <sweep>` |
+| `LED` | `LED <id> <idx> <r> <g> <b>` | Set one LED (0-based index within gauge segment) to RGB colour (0–255 each) |
+| `LED?` | `LED?` | Query all LEDs: one `LED <id> <idx> <r> <g> <b>` line per LED, then `OK` |
+| `PING` | `PING` | Responds `PONG` |
+
+All commands reply `OK` or `ERR BAD_ID` / `ERR BAD_CMD` etc.
+
+### Adding gauges
+
+1. Increment `GAUGE_COUNT`.
+2. Add a `constexpr GaugePins` entry to `gaugePins[]` (including `ledCount`).
+3. Tune `maxPos` and `homingBackoffSteps` in the corresponding `Gauge` default or at runtime.
+4. `TOTAL_LEDS` and `gaugeLedOffset[]` update automatically — no manual changes needed.
