This page is to be used as a reference guide when reading code so that even if you have no programming knowledge you can still understand the code. The follow is a glossary of programming commands and their use. [1]
| Function Syntax | Function Effect | Example |
|---|---|---|
| celerate(m,p1,p2,t); | Accelerates the motor(s) m from percent p1 to percent p2 over t seconds. Can decelerate by going from a a p1 greater than p2. | celerate(4,80,10,1); Decelerates all motors from 80% to 10% in one second. |
| motorSpeed(m,p); | Sets motor(s) m to p percent power. | motorSpeed(1,30); Sets motor 1 to 30% power. |
| goFor(t); | Keeps motors running at their percents for t seconds. | goFor(7); Motors will continue running at their percents for 7 seconds. |
| brake(m); | Stops m motor(s) from spinning. | brake(2); Cuts power to motor 2. |
| reverse(m); | Changes direction of motor(s) m. | reverse(4); Reverses direction of all motors. |
| goToRelativePosition(n); | Continues previous command till the AEV has moved n marks. N can be negative for measuring backwards movement. |
goToRelativePosition(10); Continues previously set motor speeds till it’s moved 10 marks forwards. |
| goToAbsolutePosition(n); | Continues the previous command for till the AEV has reached n marks away from the AEV’s initial starting position. | goToAbsolutePosition(-5); Continues previously set motor speeds till the AEV has arrived at 5 marks back from the initialized starting position. |
