Arduino Toolkit - @servo/servo

: obj = servo (arduinoobj, pin)

: obj = servo (arduinoobj, pin, propertyname, propertyvalue)

Create a servo object using a specified pin on a arduino board.

Inputs

obj - servo object

arduinoobj - connected arduino object

propertyname, propertyvalue - name value pairs for properties to pass to the created servo object.

Current properties are:

minpulseduration: min PWM pulse value in seconds.
maxpulseduration: max PWM pulse value in seconds.

Outputs

obj - created servo object.

Example

 # create arduino connection
 ar = arduino();
 # create hobby servo (1 - 2 ms pulse range)
 servo = servo(ar, "d9", "minpulseduration", 1.0e-3, "maxpulseduration", 2e-3);
 # center the servo
 writePosition(servo, 0.5);

Properties

The servo object has the following public properties:

parent: The parent (arduino) for this device
pins: pins used by this object
minpulseduration: minpulseduration set for object
maxpulseduration: maxpulseduration set for object
