Arduino Function Calls
| Term | Definition | Example |
| celerate (m,p1,p2,t); | Accelerates or decelerates the motors (m) from the starting speed (p1) to the ending speed (p2) in a certain amount of time (t). | celerate(2,60,10, 5);
Decelerates motor 2 from 60% to 10% in 5 seconds. |
| MotorSpeed (m,p); | Sets motors (m) to a certain power (p). | motorSpeed(1,25);
Sets motor 1 to 25% power. |
| goFor(t); | Runs the motors for a certain amount of time (t). | goFor(15);
Runs the motors for 15 seconds. |
| brake(m); | Stops the motors (m) from spinning. | brake(4);
Cuts the power to all motors. |
| reverse(m); | Reverses the way the motors (m) spin. | reverse(2);
Reverses the way motor 2 was spinning. |
| goToRelativePosition(n); | Continues the previous command for a certain amount of marks (n). Positive numbers = forwards, negative numbers = backwards. | motorSpeed(2,32);
goToRelativePosition(41);
Motor 2 is at 32% power until it reaches mark 41. |
| goToAbsolutePosition(n); | Continues the previous command for a certain amount a marks (n) relative to the starting position of the AEV’s starting point. | motorSpeed(2,32);
goToAbsolutePosition(155);
Motor 2 is at 32% power until it reaches mark 155 from its starting point. |
