Description

The Servo Motor block represents a servo motor connected to a specified motor channel on BeagleBone^® Blue hardware. Set the shaft position of the servo motor from 0 to 180 degrees.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Input signal that sets shaft position of servo motor

scalar

The input range is between 0 and 180. For 0 input, the shaft is at 0 degrees, while for the input of 180 the shaft is at 180 degrees. Out of range values, such as -5 or 200, to the block input has the same effect as sending the minimum or maximum input values.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

Parameters
