Downloadable macro reference

	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.
[[File:]] -	Target
Object to be moved by the motor
- VOID	Return

	MoveToPositionInt
Moves a single step towards the new position, the rate of movement is determined by how often the move to macro is called. Returns 1 if the position has been reached.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to assign the new position. Range: 0-7
- UINT	Position
Target position to move towards. Range: 0-65535
- BYTE	Return

	SetPositionInt
Moves directly to the specified position with no interpolation. Uses a 16-bit position parameter to add extra precision.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to assign the new position. Range: 0-7
- UINT	Position
Position to jump to. Range: 0-65535
- VOID	Return

	MoveToPosition
Moves a single step towards the new position, the rate of movement is determined by how often the move to macro is called. Returns 1 if the position has been reached.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to assign the new position. Range: 0-7
- BYTE	Position
Target position to move towards. Range: 0-255
- BYTE	Return

	SetTrim
Allows the level of trim for each servo channel to be adjusted progmatically.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- BYTE	Trim
Legacy: 0=0us, 1=+25us, 2=+50us, 3=+75us, 4=+100us, 5=-25us, 6=-50us, 7=-75us, 8=-100us or Smooth: 0-200
- VOID	Return

	IsAutoMoving
Is the AutoMoveToPosition movement complete. Returns 1 if the servos are still moving. Returns 0 if all servo movement is complete.
- BYTE	Return

	SetAutoMoveSpeedInt
Sets the speed of the auto move to position macro. Default speed is shown in the Servo_Period_Multiplier property.
- UINT	Speed
1=Slowest (Default), 2= Double, 3=Triple, 4=Quadruple
- VOID	Return

	IsServoAutoMoving
Is the AutoMoveToPosition movement complete for a specific servo output. Returns 1 if the servo is still moving. Returns 0 if the servo movement is complete.
- BYTE	Channel
Servo Motor Output Range: 0-7
- BYTE	Return

	AutoMoveToPosition
Automatically moves towards the new position at a fixed rate determined by the AutoMoveSpeed.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to assign the new position. Range: 0-7
- BYTE	Position
Position to automatically move to. Range: 0-255
- VOID	Return

	EnableServo
Enables a servo channel effectivly setting the position of the motor to the value in the local position variable.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to set the position for. First channel is zero.
- VOID	Return

	SetAutoMoveSpeed
Sets the speed of the auto move to position macro. Default speed is shown in the Servo_Period_Multiplier property.
- BYTE	Speed
1=Slowest (Default), 2= Double, 3=Triple, 4=Quadruple
- VOID	Return

	AutoMoveToPositionInt
Automatically moves towards the new 16-bit position at a fixed rate determined by the AutoMoveSpeed.
- BYTE	Channel
The channel to assign the new position. Range: 0-7
- UINT	Position
Position to automatically move to. Range: 0-65535
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Sets up the servo motor interrupts
- VOID	Return

	WriteLEDs
Allows control of all 8-LEDs on the front of the Formula Flowcode.
- BYTE	LED_Byte
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Starts up the formula flowcode PWM for motor control and performs the wait for button press
- VOID	Return

	Properties
	Link To...
Select a panel object here to connect it 'mechanically' to the servo's actuator. The selected object will now be moved whenever the servo position changes. NB) To move multiple objects, first group the objects, and then select the group.
	Reverse Output
Some manufacturers motors may rotate in different ways to others. Changing this property allows you to flip the direction of the simulated motor to better match with the real world hardware.
