writePosition

Write position of servo motor connected to MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier

Syntax

writePosition(servoObj,position)

Description

writePosition(servoObj,position) sets the servo motor position to the specified value.

Examples

Set Servo Motor Position

Create a connection to the Nano Motor Carrier.

arduinoObj = arduino('/dev/ttyACM0','Nano33IoT','Libraries','MotorCarrier');
mcObj = motorCarrier(arduinoObj);

Create a connection to the servo motor 1.

servoObj = servo(mcObj,1)

servoObj = 
  Servo with properties:

    MotorNumber: 1 (Servo1)

Rotate the motor shaft to 90 degrees or pi/2 radians.

writePosition(servoObj,0.5);

Input Arguments

servoObj — Servo object

object

Connection to the servo motor on MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier, specified as an object.

position — Position of shaft

numeric

Position of servo motor shaft specified as a number representing the normalized angle between 0 to 1 with 1 corresponding to 180 degrees or pi radians. 0 corresponds to the minimum angle of the motor shaft, 0 degrees or 0 radians
