-# Portenta Machine Control Library for Arduino
+# [Deprecated] Portenta Machine Control Library for Arduino
+
+> ⚠️ **Warning**: This library is deprecated and no longer actively maintained.
+
+> We recommend transitioning to the [Arduino_PortentaMachineControl](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Arduino_PortentaMachineControl) library for ongoing support, new features and contributions.
+
+> Please note that the [examples](./examples/) provided with this library are not compatible with the new library.
