I'm not sure what exactly is involved with your application. You can certainly look at other pieces of code in any language as a reference. The motor control library is for directly interfacing with "low-level" motor drivers, not with drivers that speak serial (which is presumably what EASYCOM means). You have (4) UART modules that can easily speak this protocol. Also, as you mentioned "embedded" here: one of the features of using a IOIO is that you won't actually need any embedded programming in the strict sense. You'd pretty much do high-level Java coding that has the ability to interact with hardware.
