Basic Arduino Function Call Glossary
celerate(m,p1,p2,t) – accelerates or decelerates motor(s) m from start speed (%) p1 to end speed (%) p2 over a duration of t seconds
motorSpeed(m,p) – initializes motor m at percent power p
goFor(t) – runs the motors at their initialized state for t seconds
brake(m) – brakes motor(s) m (Note: this does NOT brake the AEV, just stops the motors from spinning)
reverse(m) – reverses the polarity of motor(s) m
goToRelativePosition(n) – continues the previous command for n marks from the vehicle’s current position. n can be positive or negative, with positive meaning the vehicle is moving forward, negative meaning the vehicle is moving backward
goToAbsolutePosition(n) – continues the previous command for n marks relative to the overall starting position of the AEV
