This page gives a brief explanation of all function calls used throughout our Arduino codes.
Since there are two motors, the number 4 is used to apply a function call to both motors.
|
celerate(m,p1,p2,t); |
accelerates or decelerates motor(s) m from % power p1 to % power p2 through a period of t seconds. |
|
motorSpeed(m,p); |
starts motor(s) m at % power p |
|
goFor(t); |
runs motor(s) at their current state for t seconds |
|
brake(m); |
Stops motor(s) m
*does not brake the AEV, only stops the motors |
|
reverse(m); |
reverses motor(s) m at the same power, just in opposite direction |
|
goToRelativePosition(n); |
continues the previous command for n marks from the AEV’s current position, where 1 mark is 0.4875 inches. n can also be negative, which applies to the AEV moving in reverse |
|
goToAbsolutePosition(n); |
continues the previous command for n marks from the AEV’s starting position |
