Methods

gotoAngle(angle, speedopt) → {Promise}

Rotate a motor by a given angle.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
angle number

Absolute position the motor should go to (degrees from 0).

speed number <optional>
100

For forward, a value between 1 - 100 should be set. For reverse, a value between -1 to -100.

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:

Resolved upon successful completion of command (ie. once the motor is finished).

Type
Promise

gotoRealZero(speedopt) → {Promise}

Rotate motor to real zero position.

Real zero is marked on Technic angular motors (SPIKE Prime). It is also available on Technic linear motors (Control+) but is unmarked.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
speed number <optional>
100

Speed between 1 - 100. Note that this will always take the shortest path to zero.

Returns:

Resolved upon successful completion of command (ie. once the motor is finished).

Type
Promise

resetZero() → {Promise}

Reset zero to current position

Type
Promise

rotateByDegrees(degrees, speedopt) → {Promise}

Rotate a motor by a given amount of degrees.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
degrees number

How much the motor should be rotated (in degrees).

speed number <optional>
100

For forward, a value between 1 - 100 should be set. For reverse, a value between -1 to -100.

Type
Promise

setAccelerationTime(time) → {Promise}

Set the global acceleration time

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time number

How long acceleration should last (in milliseconds).

setSpeed(speed, time) → {Promise}

Set the motor speed.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
speed number

For forward, a value between 1 - 100 should be set. For reverse, a value between -1 to -100. Stop is 0.
