run

Tell a continuous rotation servo to turn at a certain speed.

servos.P0.run(50)

A continuous rotation servo can turn both clockwise and counter-clockwise. They rotate at a speed from stopped to maximum rotation speed. Normally, a continuous rotation servo interprets an angle value as a speed value. But, by using ||servos:run|| though, you can use a speed percentage value to turn the servo from no speed to full speed (0 to 100 percent). Also, for clockwise rotation, the speed value used is a positive number, speed > 0. If you want to turn the servo in the other direction (counter-clockwise), use a negative percentage value.

Parameters

• speed: a number which is the percentage (0 to 100) of speed to turn the servo at. Use a positive value (speed > 0) to go clockwise and use a negative value to turn counter-clocwise.

Example

Connect a servo to pin P0. Rotate the servo clockwise at 75 percent of full speed. Wait 3 seconds and then stop the servo.
