servo

Connection to servo motor on Arduino MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier

Since R2020a

Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware add-on.

Description

This object represents a connection to a servo motor with the specified motor number on an MKR Motor Carrier or a Nano Motor Carrier. You can control the servo motor using the functions listed under Object Functions.

Creation

Description

example

servoObj = servo(mcObj,motornumber) creates a connection to the servo motor at the specified motor number on the Arduino® MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier.

Input Arguments

expand all

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

Example: servoObj = servo(mcObj,1) creates a servo motor connection at motor number 1 connected to Servo1.

Servo motor number where the motor is connected on an MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier, specified as a number.

Properties

expand all

This property is read-only.

Servo motor number where the motor is connected on an MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier, specified as a number.

Example:

>> servoObj.MotorNumber
ans = 
      1 

Data Types: numeric

Object Functions

Use these object functions to create a connection to the servo motor.

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

Create a connection to the Nano Motor Carrier.

mcObj = motorCarrier(arduinoObj)
mcObj = 
  MotorCarrier with properties:

          SCLPin: 'A5'
          SDAPin: 'A4'
      I2CAddress: 102 ('0x66')

Create a servo motor connection.

servoObj = servo(mcObj,4)
servoObj = 
  Servo with properties:

    MotorNumber: 4 (Servo4)
