Detailed Description

Controls motor speed and direction on the Balboa 32U4.

This library uses Timer 1, so it will conflict with any other libraries using that timer.

Member Function Documentation

allowTurbo()

void Balboa32U4Motors::allowTurbo ( bool  turbo )

static

Turns turbo mode on or off.

By default turbo mode is off. When turbo mode is on, the range of speeds accepted by the other functions in this library becomes -400 to 400 (instead of -300 to 300). Turning turbo mode on allows the Balboa to move faster but could decrease the lifetime of the motors.

This function does not have any immediate effect on the speed of the motors; it just changes the behavior of the other functions in this library.

Parameters

turbo

If true, turns turbo mode on. If false, turns turbo mode off.

flipLeftMotor()

void Balboa32U4Motors::flipLeftMotor ( bool  flip )

static

Flips the direction of the left motor.

You can call this function with an argument of true if the left motor of your Balboa was not wired in the standard way and you want a positive speed argument to correspond to forward movement.

Parameters

flip	If true, then positive motor speeds will correspond to the direction pin being high. If false, then positive motor speeds will correspond to the direction pin being low.

flipRightMotor()

void Balboa32U4Motors::flipRightMotor ( bool  flip )

static

Flips the direction of the right motor.

You can call this function with an argument of true if the right motor of your Balboa was not wired in the standard way and you want a positive speed argument to correspond to forward movement.

Parameters

flip	If true, then positive motor speeds will correspond to the direction pin being high. If false, then positive motor speeds will correspond to the direction pin being low.

setLeftSpeed()

void Balboa32U4Motors::setLeftSpeed ( int16_t  speed )

static

Sets the speed for the left motor.

Parameters

speed

A number from -300 to 300 representing the speed and direction of the left motor. Values of -300 or less result in full speed reverse, and values of 300 or more result in full speed forward.

Definition at line 50 of file Balboa32U4Motors.cpp.

setRightSpeed()

void Balboa32U4Motors::setRightSpeed ( int16_t  speed )

static

Sets the speed for the right motor.

Parameters

speed

A number from -300 to 300 representing the speed and direction of the right motor. Values of -300 or less result in full speed reverse, and values of 300 or more result in full speed forward.

Definition at line 71 of file Balboa32U4Motors.cpp.

setSpeeds()

void Balboa32U4Motors::setSpeeds ( int16_t  leftSpeed, int16_t  rightSpeed  )

static

Sets the speed for both motors.

Parameters

leftSpeed	A number from -300 to 300 representing the speed and direction of the right motor. Values of -300 or less result in full speed reverse, and values of 300 or more result in full speed forward.
rightSpeed	A number from -300 to 300 representing the speed and direction of the right motor. Values of -300 or less result in full speed reverse, and values of 300 or more result in full speed forward.
