// Initialize the Motor
var motor = new serviceSPIKE.Motor("A")

Methods

inner get_speed() → {number}

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1748

Get current speed of the motor

Returns:

number -

speed of motor [-100 to 100]

inner get_position() → {number}

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1759

Get current position of the motor. The position may differ by a little margin from the position to which a motor ran with run_to_position()

Returns:

number -

position of motor [0 to 359]

inner get_degrees_counted() → {number}

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1772

Get current degrees counted of the motor

Returns:

number -

counted degrees of the motor [any number]

inner get_power() → {number}

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1782

Get the power of the motor

Returns:

number -

motor power

inner get_default_speed() → {number}

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1792

Get the default speed of this motor

Returns:

number -

motor default speed [-100 to 100]

inner set_default_speed(speed)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1800

Set the default speed for this motor

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
speed	number	[-100 to 100]

inner set_stall_detection(boolean)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1814

Turns stall detection on or off. Stall detection senses when a motor has been blocked and can’t move. If stall detection has been enabled and a motor is blocked, the motor will be powered off after two seconds and the current motor command will be interrupted. If stall detection has been disabled, the motor will keep trying to run and programs will “get stuck” until the motor is no longer blocked.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
boolean	boolean	true if to detect stall, false otherwise

inner run_to_degrees_counted(degrees, speed, callbackopt)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1848

Runs the motor until the number of degrees counted is equal to the value that has been specified by the "degrees" parameter.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
degrees	integer		any number
speed	integer		[0 to 100]
callback	any	<optional>	(optional callback) callback param: "stalled" or "done"

inner start_at_power(power)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1861

Start the motor at some power

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
power	integer	[-100 to 100]

inner start(speed)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1870

Start the motor at some speed

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
speed	integer	[-100 to 100]

inner run_for_seconds(seconds, speed, callbackopt)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1891

Run the motor for some seconds

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Default	Description
seconds	integer
speed	integer			[-100 to 100]
callback	function	<optional>	=undefined	Parameters:"stalled" or "done"

Example

motor.run_for_seconds(10, 100, function() {
     console.log("motor just ran for 10 seconds");
})

inner run_for_degrees(degrees, speed, callbackopt)

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1909

Run the motor for some degrees

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Default	Description
degrees	integer
speed	integer			[-100 to 100]
callback	function	<optional>	=undefined	Parameters:"stalled" or "done" motor.run_for_degrees(720, 100, function () { console.log("motor just ran for 720 degrees"); })

inner stop()

ServiceDock_SPIKE.js, line 1921

Stop the motor
