Detailed Description

A motor class for one channel of a driver object.

Objects of this class can be used to apply Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) to a given DC motor, changing the duty cycle.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def motor.Motor.__init__	(		self,
			PWM_tim,
			IN1_pin,
			IN2_pin,
			chA,
			chB
	)

Initializes and returns an object associated with a DC Motor.

Parameters

PWM_tim	The timer associated with the board motors
IN1_pin	The first pin associated with the motor
IN2_pin	The second pin associated with the motor
chA	The first channel associated with the motor
chB	The second channel associated with the motor

Member Function Documentation

setDuty()

def motor.Motor.setDuty	(		self,
			duty
	)

Set the PWM duty cycle for the motor channel.

This method sets the duty cycle to be sent to the motor to the given level. Positive values cause effort in one direction, negative values in the opposite direction.

Parameters

duty	A signed number holding the duty cycle of the PWM signal sent to the motor.
