CRServo

A Continuous Rotation Servo (CRServo) is a type of servo motor designed to rotate continuously in both directions. Unlike standard servos, which have a limited range of motion, CRServos can spin indefinitely.

Key Characteristics:

  • Continuous rotation: Can spin in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

  • Speed control: Typically controlled by setting a power level between -1.0 (full speed reverse) and 1.0 (full speed forward).

  • No positional feedback: Unlike standard servos, CRServos generally don't provide feedback on their position.

Direction

Provides the current direction of a servo.

Key points:

  • Return value: A string value of “FORWARD” or “REVERSE”.

  • FORWARD: The power the servo receives is unaltered.

  • REVERSE: The power the servo receives is multiplied by -1, reversing its sign.

  • Usage: Used to check the current direction of a servo. Crucial for precise motor control and ease of programming.

Power

Provides the power of a servo.

Key points:

  • Return value: A floating point value from -1.0 to 1.0

  • Usage: Used to check the power of a servo. Crucial for precise motor control.

set fullservo.Direction to

Controls the direction of the servo. The only directions are “FORWARD” or “REVERSE”

Key points:

  • FORWARD: The power the servo receives is unaltered.

  • REVERSE: The power the servo receives is multiplied by -1, reversing its sign

  • Usage: To make setting and controlling the power to servo easier while programming and driving.

Set fullservo.Power to

Controls the power the servo receives, determining its speed and direction.

Key points:

  • Value range: Accepts a floating-point value between -1.0 and 1.0.

  • Direction: Positive values move the servo forward, negative values move it backward.

  • Magnitude: The absolute value of the power determines the servo’s speed.
