Macro reference

Break

Break
Actively drives both ends of the motor by setting the pins according to the 'Brake Pattern' property. 
- VOID Return


Coast

Coast
Turn off power to the motor by setting the pins according to the 'Coast Pattern' property. 
- VOID Return


Disable

Disable
Disable the motor output 
- VOID Return


Enable

Enable
Enables the motor output 
- VOID Return


Forwards

Forwards
Set the motor turning in the forwards direction by setting the pins according to the 'Reverse Pattern' property. 
- UINT Duty
Sets the motor power for PWM or H-Bridge outputs 
- VOID Return


Reverse

Reverse
Set the motor turning in the reverse direction by setting the pins according to the 'Reverse Pattern' property. 
- UINT Duty
Sets the motor power for PWM or H-Bridge outputs 
- VOID Return


Property reference

Properties
Control Type
Control Method
Controls how the motor is controlled. On/Off requires output pins PWM requires a hardware PWM channel H-Bridge requires a hardware H-Bridge channel 
Bridge Type
 
Enable Method
Decides how the motor outputs are enabled. 
Connections
PinA
First control pin - set 'pattern' properties below to set the pin's function. 
PinB
Second control pin - set 'pattern' properties below to set the pin's function. 
Forwards Pattern
The state of pins A and B required to drive the motor in a forwards direction. 
Reverse Pattern
States of pins A and B required to drive the motor in a reverse direction. 
Coast Pattern
States of pins A and B required to stop the motor. 
Brake Pattern
States of pins A and B required to stop the motor. 
Simulation Settings
Speed
Speed of the motor when turned on. Positive speed -> Counter-clockwsie Negative speed -> Clockwise  
Acceleration
Speed change per second when the motor us powered. Set to zero for instantaneous speed changes.  
Deceleration
Speed change per second when the motor is coasting with no power. Set to zero for instantaneous speed changes. 
Show Actuator
When active, an actuator is shown on the motor spindle to make the animation easier to observe. 
Forwards Direction
Which way the motor will rotate when the 'forwards' command is sent. 
Linkage
Target Object
An object or group to link the motor to - the object will move along with the motor.
