Macro reference

SetTarget

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetTarget
Set a panel object to be 'connected' to the servo's. The connected object will then move as if connected mechanically to the servo's actuator. 
Fc9-h32-icon.png - HANDLE Target
Object to be moved by the motor 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Moving Part
Set an object on the System Panel to be the servo's actuator. The object's position at the moment of selection is taken to be the 'rest' position of the actuator - the maximum and minimum angles will be measured from this position. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Axis Object
Set a panel object to be the centre of rotation of the servo's actuator. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Move Around
Set the axis around which the actuator will revolve. If an 'Axis Object' is chosen, this will be a local axis of the chosen object, otherwise it will be the current world axes. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Movement Type
 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Minimum (degrees)
Angle that the servo turns when the PWM signal is at its minimum. Measured from the actuator object's 'rest' position, chosen at the time of connecting the object. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Maximum (degrees)
Angle that the servo turns when the PWM signal is at its maximum. Measured from the actuator object's 'rest' position, chosen at the time of connecting the object.
