Function Documentation

int motor1_set	(	int	direction,
		int	speed
	)

Set speed and direction of motor1.

Sets the speed and direction of motor1. motors_init must be called before this function can be used.

Parameters:

	direction	Either FORWARD or BACKWARD to set the direction of rotation.
	speed	The speed the motor will run at, in the range 0-255.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise

See also:

motor2_set, motors_init

Deprecated:

use the left motor function instead. it's more intuitive and easier to read.

int motor2_set	(	int	direction,
		int	speed
	)

Set speed and direction of motor2.

Sets the speed and direction of motor2. motors_init must be called before this function can be used.

Parameters:

	direction	Either FORWARD or BACKWARD to set the direction of rotation.
	speed	The speed the motor will run at, in the range 0-255.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise

See also:

motor2_set, motors_init

Deprecated:

use the right motor function instead. it's more intuitive and easier to read.

int motor_l_set	(	int	direction,
		int	speed
	)

Set speed and direction of left motor.

Sets the speed and direction of the left motor. motors_init must be called before this function can be used.

Parameters:

	direction	Either FORWARD or BACKWARD to set the direction of rotation.
	speed	The speed the motor will run at, in the range 0-255.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise

motor_r_set, motors_init

int motor_r_set	(	int	direction,
		int	speed
	)

Set speed and direction of right motor.

Sets the speed and direction of the right motor. motors_init must be called before this function can be used.

Parameters:

	direction	Either FORWARD or BACKWARD to set the direction of rotation.
	speed	The speed the motor will run at, in the range 0-255.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise

motor_l_set, motors_init

int motors_init

(

void

)

Initialize the motors.

Initializes both motors so that they can be used with future calls to motor1_set and motor2_set.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise

See also:

motors_off, motor1_set, motor2_set

int motors_off

(

void

)

Turn the motors off.

Turns off both motors.

Returns:

0 if init succesfull, an error code otherwise
