Two improvements to RCServo API
Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2020 11:41 am
Hello Phidgets, I have two requests for improvement in the RC Servo API.
- One can set the min position > max position. When this happens, it breaks the UI slider bar. Does it make sense to allow min position to be set greater than max position?
- When setting target position outside of the range of min/max positions, the details returned refer to the pulse width (instead of position range).
Example:
1. Min position = 0.0°, max position = 270.0°, min pulse width = 500.0, max pulse width = 2500.0
2. Setting target position = 300°
3. Result:
In my opinion this should have said:
Versions
And RCServo device version 111.
