motorsWrite()
Description
Controls the speed and direction of the two motors connected to the robot's wheels. motorsWrite() needs values between -255 and 255. If the value is greater than 0, the wheel turns forward. If less than 0, the motor turns backwards.
Syntax
Robot.motorsWrite(speedLeft, speedRight)
Parameters
- speedLeft: the speed of left wheel
- speedRight: the speed of right wheel
Returns
none
Examples
#include <ArduinoRobot.h>
void setup(){
Robot.begin();
}
void loop(){
Robot.motorsWrite(255,255); //Make the robot go forward, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Make the robot stop
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(255,-255);//Make the robot rotate right, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Make the robot stop
delay(1000);
}
void setup(){
Robot.begin();
}
void loop(){
Robot.motorsWrite(255,255); //Make the robot go forward, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Make the robot stop
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(255,-255);//Make the robot rotate right, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Make the robot stop
delay(1000);
}
