Examples
There is a detailed walk through of the scenario detailed at the link below to go with this component.
Macro reference
CurrentSenseMotor1
|
CurrentSenseMotor1 |
| This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 1. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A. | |
 - BYTE
|
Return |
CurrentSenseMotor2
|
|
CurrentSenseMotor2 |
| This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 2. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A. | |
| - BYTE
|
Return |
CurrentSenseMotor3
|
|
CurrentSenseMotor3 |
| This macro is used to sense the current draw from DC motor 3. When it is not being used, it will draw no current. In normal operating conditions it will draw 3A, and under stall conditions (when the motor hits the end stops) it will draw 20A. | |
