Macro reference

DecrementStep

Fc9-comp-macro.png DecrementStep
Move the motor backwards by one step. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


DisableMotor

Fc9-comp-macro.png DisableMotor
Turn off the motor. It will no longer respond to any other macros. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


EnableMotor

Fc9-comp-macro.png EnableMotor
Turn on the motor. This must be done before it will respond to any other macros. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


GetSimAngle

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetSimAngle
Gets the angle of the simulated motor shaft in degrees. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


IncrementStep
