Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png Control Type
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Control Method
Controls how the motor is controlled. On/Off requires output pins PWM requires a hardware PWM channel H-Bridge requires a hardware H-Bridge channel 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Bridge Type
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Enable Method
Decides how the motor outputs are enabled. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png PWM Settings
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
PWM Channel selector 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Alt Pin Enable
Alternative Pin Enable (if available on target device) 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Port
 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Period Register
PWM Period Register value 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Prescaler Divide
Prescaler Divider value 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png PWM Timer
Timer associated with PWM to drive the output. Warning - All PWM channels linked to the same timer will share the same period and prescaler settings. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Frequency (KHz)
 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Direction Pin
 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation Settings
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Speed
Speed of the motor when turned on. Positive speed -> Counter-clockwsie Negative speed -> Clockwise  
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Acceleration
Speed change per second when the motor us powered. Set to zero for instantaneous speed changes.  
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Deceleration
Speed change per second when the motor is coasting with no power. Set to zero for instantaneous speed changes. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Show Actuator
When active, an actuator is shown on the motor spindle to make the animation easier to observe. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Forwards Direction
Which way the motor will rotate when the 'forwards' command is sent. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Linkage
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Target Object
An object or group to link the motor to - the object will move along with the motor.
