Methods

gotoAngle(angle [, speed])

Rotate a motor by a given angle.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
angle number

Absolute position the motor should go to (degrees from 0).
speed number <optional>
 100

For forward, a value between 1 - 100 should be set. For reverse, a value between -1 to -100.
Source:
Returns:

Resolved upon successful completion of command (ie. once the motor is finished).

Type
Promise

gotoRealZero( [speed])

Rotate motor to real zero position.

Real zero is marked on Technic angular motors (SPIKE Prime). It is also available on Technic linear motors (Control+) but is unmarked.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
speed number <optional>
 100

Speed between 1 - 100. Note that this will always take the shortest path to zero.

Returns:

Resolved upon successful completion of command (ie. once the motor is finished).

Type
Promise

resetZero()

Reset zero to current position

Source:
Returns:

Resolved upon successful completion of command (ie. once the motor is finished).

Type
Promise

rotateByDegrees(degrees [, speed])

Rotate a motor by a given amount of degrees.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
degrees number

How much the motor should be rotated (in degrees).
speed number <optional>
 100

For forward, a value between 1 - 100 should be set. For reverse, a value between -1 to -100.
