Arduino Toolkit - arduinoioaddons.adafruit.dcmotorv2

: arduinoioaddons.adafruit.dcmotorv2

DC Motor class for dc motor control on the adafruit motor shield

See also: arduinoioaddons.adafruit.motorshieldv2.

Properties

Speed - The speed value set for the motor

Parent - The parent shield for object (read only)

MotorNumber - The motor number (read only) values 1-4

IsRunning - boolean for if the motor is started (read only)

Methods

: obj = dcmotorv2(mObj, mnum)

: obj = dcmotorv2(mObj, mnum, propertyname, propertyvalue ....)

Constructor to create dcmotor object

Inputs

mObj - the motor shield object

mnum - The motor number (1 - 4)

propertyname, propertyvalue - Optional property name/value pairs to pass to motor object.

Current known properties are:

Speed

Initial speed (default 0). Should be a value between -1 and 1.

Outputs

s - a dcmotorv2 object

Example

 
 a = arduino()
 ms = addon(a, "adafruit/motorshieldv2")
 mtr = dcmotor(ms, 1)
 
 

: start(dcObj)

Start the motor moving in previously set speed/direction

Inputs

dcObj - the dcmotor object

Outputs

None

: stop(dcObj)

Stop the motor moving

Inputs

dcObj - the dcmotor object

Outputs

None
