: obj = servo (arduinoobj, pin) ¶

: obj = servo (arduinoobj, pin, propertyname, propertyvalue) ¶

Create a servo object using a specified pin on a arduino board.

Inputs

obj - servo object

arduinoobj - connected arduino object

propertyname, propertyvalue - name value pairs for properties to pass to the created servo object.

Current properties are:

minpulseduration

min PWM pulse value in seconds.

maxpulseduration

max PWM pulse value in seconds.

Outputs

obj - created servo object.

Example

# create arduino connection
ar = arduino();
# create hobby servo (1 - 2 ms pulse range)
servo = servo(ar, "d9", "minpulseduration", 1.0e-3, "maxpulseduration", 2e-3);
# center the servo
writePosition(servo, 0.5);

Properties

The servo object has the following public properties:

parent

The parent (arduino) for this device

pins

pins used by this object

minpulseduration

minpulseduration set for object

maxpulseduration

maxpulseduration set for object
