DC Motor
Double-click on the DC Motor object, labelled {{{2}}}, in order to run the example: [[Image:{{{1}}}_DCMotor_Example.jpg|center|link=]]
General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:
- Drag the Target Velocity slider from -1 (full reverse) to 1 (full forward) to make the motor move.
- Manipulate the Acceleration slider to increase/decrease the amount of time it takes the DC Motor to reach a target velocity.
- Manipulate the Current Limit slider to limit the amount of current provided to the motor. Higher current means more torque, but more power consumption.
- Manipulate the Braking Duty Cycle slider to change how hard the motor brakes.
- Manipulate the Current Regulator Gain: see the technical section for details on this.
- Turn the fan on and off by selecting the fan mode. Auto mode will have the fan turn on whenever the controller starts to heat up.
