Implementations

impl LargeMotor

pub fn get(port: MotorPort) -> Ev3Result<Self>

Try to get a Self on the given port. Returns None if port is not used or another device is connected.

pub fn find() -> Ev3Result<Self>

Try to find a Self. Only returns a motor if their is exactly one connected, Error::NotFound otherwise.

pub fn list() -> Ev3Result<Vec<Self>>

Extract list of connected ‘Self’

pub const COMMAND_RUN_FOREVER: &'static str

Causes the motor to run until another command is sent.

pub const COMMAND_RUN_TO_ABS_POS: &'static str

Runs the motor to an absolute position specified by position_sp and then stops the motor using the command specified in stop_action.

pub const COMMAND_RUN_TO_REL_POS: &'static str

Runs the motor to a position relative to the current position value. The new position will be current position + position_sp. When the new position is reached, the motor will stop using the command specified by stop_action.

pub const COMMAND_RUN_TIMED: &'static str

Run the motor for the amount of time specified in time_sp and then stops the motor using the command specified by stop_action.

pub const COMMAND_RUN_DIRECT: &'static str

Runs the motor using the duty cycle specified by duty_cycle_sp. Unlike other run commands, changing duty_cycle_sp while running will take effect immediately.

pub const COMMAND_STOP: &'static str

Stop any of the run commands before they are complete using the command specified by stop_action.

pub const COMMAND_RESET: &'static str

Resets all of the motor parameter attributes to their default values. This will also have the effect of stopping the motor.

pub const POLARITY_NORMAL: &'static str

A positive duty cycle will cause the motor to rotate clockwise.

pub const POLARITY_INVERSED: &'static str

A positive duty cycle will cause the motor to rotate counter-clockwise.

pub const STATE_RUNNING: &'static str

Power is being sent to the motor.

pub const STATE_RAMPING: &'static str

The motor is ramping up or down and has not yet reached a pub constant output level.

pub const STATE_HOLDING: &'static str

The motor is not turning, but rather attempting to hold a fixed position.

pub const STATE_OVERLOADED: &'static str

The motor is turning as fast as possible, but cannot reach its speed_sp.

pub const STATE_STALLED: &'static str

The motor is trying to run but is not turning at all.

pub const STOP_ACTION_COAST: &'static str

Removes power from the motor. The motor will freely coast to a stop.

pub const STOP_ACTION_BRAKE: &'static str

Removes power from the motor and creates a passive electrical load. This is usually done by shorting the motor terminals together. This load will absorb the energy from the rotation of the motors and cause the motor to stop more quickly than coasting.

pub const STOP_ACTION_HOLD: &'static str

Causes the motor to actively try to hold the current position. If an external force tries to turn the motor, the motor will “push back” to maintain its position.

pub fn get_count_per_rot(&self) -> Ev3Result<i32>

Returns the number of tacho counts in one rotation of the motor.

Tacho counts are used by the position and speed attributes, so you can use this value to convert from rotations or degrees to tacho counts. (rotation motors only)

Examples

use ev3dev_lang_rust::motors::LargeMotor;

// Init a tacho motor.
let motor = LargeMotor::find()?;

// Get position and count_per_rot as f32.
let position = motor.get_position()? as f32;
let count_per_rot = motor.get_count_per_rot()? as f32;

// Calculate the rotation count.
let rotations = position / count_per_rot;

println!("The motor did {:.2} rotations", rotations);

pub fn get_count_per_m(&self) -> Ev3Result<i32>

Returns the number of tacho counts in one meter of travel of the motor.

Tacho counts are used by the position and speed attributes, so you can use this value to convert from distance to tacho counts. (linear motors only)

pub fn get_full_travel_count(&self) -> Ev3Result<i32>

Returns the number of tacho counts in the full travel of the motor.

When combined with the count_per_m atribute, you can use this value to calculate the maximum travel distance of the motor. (linear motors only)
