Instance Methods

__init__(self, brick, port)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

source code

set_output_state(self)

source code

get_output_state(self)

source code

reset_position(self, relative)

source code

run(self, power=100, regulated=1)
Unlike update(), set_power() tells the motor to run continuously.

source code

stop(self, braking=1)
Tells the motor to stop.

source code

update(self, power, tacho_limit, braking=False, max_retries=-1)
Use this to run a motor.

update(self, power, tacho_limit, braking=False, max_retries=-1)

source code

Use this to run a motor. power is a value between -127 and 128, tacho_limit is the number of degrees to apply power for. Braking is wether or not to stop the motor after turning the specified degrees (unreliable). max_retries is the maximum times an internal loop of the braking function runs, so it doesn't get caught in an infinite loop (deprecated, do not use).
