servo

Initializing the servo Class

A Servo Output is created by using the following constructor:

The servo constructor creates a servo object in the specified Three Wire Port.

Parameter	Description
port	The 3-Wire Port to use for the Servo Output, whether it’s a port on the Brain, or a 3-Wire Expander.

A Brain or 3-Wire Expander must be created first before they can be used to create an object with the servo Class constructor.

// Create the Brain.
brain Brain;
// Construct a Servo Output "Servo" with the servo class.
servo Servo = servo(Brain.ThreeWirePort.A);

This Servo object will be used in all subsequent examples throughout this API documentation when referring to servo class methods.

Class Methods

setPosition()

This method is called in the following ways:

The setPosition(value, units) method sets the position of the Servo using a percentage.

Parameters	Description
value	An integer value for the Servo.
units	The only valid unit for the units in this usecase is percent.

Returns: None.

// Set the servo position to 10 percent.
Servo.setPosition(10, percent);

The setPosition(value, units) method sets the position of the Servo using a Rotation Unit.

Parameters	Description
value	A double value for the Servo.
units	A valid RotationUnit.

Returns: None.

// Set the servo position to 45.5 degrees.
Servo.setPosition(45.5, degrees);
