vexMotor

vexMotor Arduino library. This library simplifies the interface between Arduino and the VEX motors through the VEX Motor Controller 29.

###class vexMotor

###Methods:

void attach(int pin);   // attaches / sets up the motor on a pin
void detach(); 			// detach / releases the pin
void write(int power);  // drive in direction given by sign, at speed given by the
                        //  magnitude of the parameter. Pos. values CW, Neg. values CCW

// default FullSpeedCW and FullSpeed CCW are +255 to -255. Change these limits with setFullSpeedCW() and setFullSpeedCCW()
void setFullSpeedCW(int max);
void setFullSpeedCCW(int min);
int getFullSpeedCW();		// returns the current fullSpeedCW setting
int getFullSpeedCCW();		// returns the current fullSpeedCCW setting

// set a deadBand limit for the motor. i.e. the abs(power) must be greater than the deadBand to
// drive the motor.
void setDeadBand(int deadBand);    // sets the deadBand limit on the motor
int getDeadBand();				   // returns the deadBand setting

// often times the zero point of a motor is not exactly at 0. Use this to reset the zero point.
void setZeroPoint(int zeroPoint);  // sets the zeroPoint
int getZeroPoint();

// sets/returns the pulse Width settings for the motor -- for VEX Motors, these are 1000 uS to 2000 uS with 1500 uS being neutral
void setMinPulse(int minPulse);    // sets the min pulse width
void setMaxPulse(int maxPulse);    // sets the max pulse width
void setNeutralPulse(int neutralPulse);  // sets the zero pulse width

int getMinPulse();    // returns the min pulse width
int getMaxPulse();    // returns the max pulse width
int getNeutralPulse();   // returns the zero pulse width
