Constants

Servo Types

These are the some predefined servo motors.  Setting one of these will set degree-PCM ratio, min and max angle, and max velocity.  Custom servo parameters can be set with the setServoParameters function.

PHIDGET_SERVO_DEFAULTDefault - This is what the servo API been historically used, originally based on the Futaba FP-S148

Properties

MotorCount

public function get MotorCount():int

Gets the number of motors supported by this controller.

Functions

getPosition

public function getPosition(index: int):Number

Gets the current position of a motor.

Parameters

indexmotor index

getEngaged

public function getEngaged(index: int):Boolean

Gets the engaged (powered) state of a motor.

Parameters

indexmotor index

getPositionMin

public function getPositionMin(index: int):Number

Gets the minimum position supported by a motor

Parameters

indexmotor index

getPositionMax

public function getPositionMax(index: int):Number
