Examples

There is a detailed walk through of the scenario detailed at the link below to go with this component.

Car Seat Scenario






Macro reference

CurrentSenseMotor1

CurrentSenseMotor1
This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 1. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A.  
- BYTE Return


CurrentSenseMotor2

CurrentSenseMotor2
This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 2. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A.  
- BYTE Return


CurrentSenseMotor3

CurrentSenseMotor3
This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 3. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A.  
- BYTE Return


Encoder1

Encoder1
Returns value is equal to X Axis current value (forward/ backwards movement). 
- INT Return


Encoder2

Encoder2
Returns value is equal to Front Z Axis current value. 
- INT Return


Encoder3

Encoder3
Returns value is equal to Rear Z Axis current value. 
- INT Return


Load

Load
Moves the seat back into the last saved position stored in the allocated save slot. 
- BYTE Location
0 = A, 1 = B 
- VOID Return


Motor1

Motor1
Moves the Car Seat Forwards and Backwards  
- BYTE Direction
0 = Stop, 1 = Forward, 2 = Backward 
- VOID Return


Motor2

Motor2
Controls the Movement of the seat going up and down by the front 
- BYTE Direction
0 = Stop, 1 = Up, 2 = Down 
- VOID Return


Motor3

Motor3
Controls the Movement of the seat going up and down by the back  
- BYTE Direction
0 = Stop, 1 = Up, 2 = Down 
- VOID Return


Save

Save
Saves the current position of the seat into the allocated save slot. 
- BYTE SavePos
0 = pos A, 1 = pos B 
- VOID Return


Property reference

Properties
Show seat base?
Controls if the base of the car seat is shown on the simulation panel.
