Macro reference

AutoMoveToPosition

	AutoMoveToPosition
Automatically moves towards the new position with a fixed rate of 100 steps per second.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- BYTE	Position
Position to move to.
- VOID	Return

The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- VOID	Return

Initialise

	Initialise
Sets up the servo motor interrupts
- VOID	Return

IsAutoMoving

	IsAutoMoving
Is the AutoMoveToPosition movement complete. Returns 1 if the servo is still moving. Returns 0 if the servo movement is complete.
- BYTE	Return

MoveToPosition

	MoveToPosition

- VOID	Return

SetPosition

	SetPosition
Moves directly to the specified position with no interpolation.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- BYTE	Position
Target position to move towards.
- VOID	Return

SetTrim

	SetTrim
Allows the level of trim for each servo channel to be adjusted progmatically.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- BYTE	Trim
0=0us, 1=+25us, 2=+50us, 3=+75us, 4=+100us, 5=-25us, 6=-50us, 7=-75us, 8=-100us

Property reference

	Properties
	Channels (1 - 8)
Set the number of servo's that you need to control. Value from 1 to 8.
	Connections
	Channel 0
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 1
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 2
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 3
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 4
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 5
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 6
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Channel 7
Pin on which to output PWM for the servo motor.
	Pulse Width
	Minimum (us)
Shortest pulse width that will be used.
	Maximum (us)
Longest pulse width used for the PWM signals.
	Trim
	Trim 0

	Simulation
	Show Servo Interface
	Servo Object 0
Drag a servo motor component onto the System Panel, and then select it here, to create an on screen simulation of the way that your flowchart moves the servo's. Servo motors should be based on the 'Servo Motor Base' component, or use a custom component set to responf to 'User.Notify' events (ID = n/a, Data = Position (0-127)).
	Servo Object 1
Drag a servo motor component onto the System Panel, and then select it here, to create an on screen simulation of the way that your flowchart moves the servo's. Servo motors should be based on the 'Servo Motor Base' component, or use a custom component set to responf to 'User.Notify' events (ID = n/a, Data = Position (0-127)).
