Interface BaseMotor

All Known Subinterfaces:

DCMotor, EncoderMotor, RegulatedMotor

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicMotor, MirrorMotor, MMXMotor, MMXRegulatedMotor, NXTMotor, PFMateMotor, RCXMotor, RemoteMotor

public interface BaseMotor

Base motor interface. Contains basic movement commands.

Method Summary

void	backward() Causes motor to rotate backwards until stop() or flt() is called.
void	flt() Motor loses all power, causing the rotor to float freely to a stop.
void	forward() Causes motor to rotate forward until stop() or flt() is called.
boolean	isMoving() Return true if the motor is moving.
void	stop() Causes motor to stop immediately.

Method Detail

forward

void forward()

Causes motor to rotate forward until stop() or flt() is called.

backward

void backward()

Causes motor to rotate backwards until stop() or flt() is called.

stop

void stop()

Causes motor to stop immediately. It will resist any further motion. Cancels any rotate() orders in progress.

flt

void flt()

Motor loses all power, causing the rotor to float freely to a stop. This is not the same as stopping, which locks the rotor.

isMoving

boolean isMoving()

Return true if the motor is moving.

Returns:

true if the motor is currently in motion, false if stopped.
