Servo Motor

Introduction

The VEX 3-Wire Servo Motor is a 3-wire device that can rotate to a specific position based on a control signal from the V5 Brain.

This page uses servo_motor as the example Servo Motor name. Replace it with your own configured name as needed.

Below is a list of available methods:

• set_position – Rotates a Servo Motor to a specified angle between 0 and 100 degrees.

Constructor – Manually initialize a Servo Motor.

• Servo – Creates a Servo Motor.

set_position

set_position rotates a Servo Motor to a specified angle between 0 and 100 degrees.

Note: A Servo Motor begins each project by automatically centering itself at 50 degrees before completing any movements.

Usage:
servo_motor.set_position(value, units)

Parameters	Description
value	The position to spin the Servo Motor to as a float or integer.
units	The unit that represents the positional value: DEGREES PERCENT (default)

Constructors

Constructors are used to manually create Servo objects, which are necessary for configuring a Servo Motor outside of VEXcode.

Servo

Servo creates a Servo Motor.

Usage:
Servo(port, gears, reverse)

Parameter	Description
port	The 3-Wire Port that the V5 Pneumatic Solenoid is connected to: On the V5 Brain – Ports.PORTx where x is the number of the port. On a 3-Wire Expander – expander.a where expander is the name of the expander instance.

# Create a Servo Motor in Port A
servo_motor = Servo(brain.three_wire_port.a)
