Interface Motor2

All Superinterfaces:

Motor

public interface Motor2
extends Motor

Exteneded generic interface to a variable power motor which provides finer grained power control than the Motor interface.

Field Summary

static int	MAX_FORWARD2 Maximum power setting in the forward direction when using the setPower2 method.
static int	MAX_REVERSE2 Maximum power setting in the reverse direction when using the setPower2 method.

Fields inherited from interface com.ridgesoft.robotics.Motor

Method Detail

setPower2

void setPower2(int power2)

Sets the motor's power.

This method provides finer grained power control than the setPower method of the Motor interface.

Note: Do not use MAX_FORWARD or MAX_REVERSE with this method. Instead, use MAX_FORWARD2 or MAX_REVERSE2.

Parameters:

power2 - the power level to set

• 64 = maximum forward power
• 0 = no power, motor will coast and/or stop
• -64 = maximum reverse power
