Constructor Detail

SoftwareServo

public SoftwareServo(PApplet parent)

Opens a servo motor

Parameters:

parent - typically use "this"

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Closes a servo motor

attach

public void attach(int pin)

Attaches a servo motor to a GPIO pin

Parameters:

pin - GPIO pin

attach

public void attach(int pin,
                   int minPulse,
                   int maxPulse)

Attaches a servo motor to a GPIO pin using custom pulse widths

Parameters:

minPulse - minimum pulse width in microseconds (default: 544, same as on Arduino)

maxPulse - maximum pulse width in microseconds (default: 2400, same as on Arduino)

write

public void write(float angle)

Moves a servo motor to a given orientation

Parameters:

angle - angle in degrees (controls speed and direction on continuous-rotation servos)

attached

public boolean attached()

Returns whether a servo motor is attached to a pin

Returns:

true if attached, false is not

detach

public void detach()

Detatches a servo motor from a GPIO pin
