Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def motor_clephan_mcgrath.MotorDriver.__init__	(		self,
			en_pin,
			in1pin,
			in2pin,
			timer
	)

Creates a motor driver by initializing GPIO pins and turning the motor off for safety.

Parameters

en_pin	enables the motor driver
in1pin	is the pin number associated with channel 2 of the motor
in2pin	is the pin number associated with channel 1 of the motor

Member Function Documentation

set_duty_cycle()

def motor_clephan_mcgrath.MotorDriver.set_duty_cycle	(		self,
			duty
	)

This method sets the duty cycle to be sent to the motor to the given level.

Positive values cause torque in one direction, negative values in the opposite direction.

Parameters

level

A signed integer holding the duty cycle of the voltage sent to the motor
