More Drivers!

OK that was fun but you want MORE drives right? You can control up to four!

This example is similar to the 1 drive example, but instead of accessing the crickit.drive_1 object directly, we'll make a

list called drives that contains 4 drive objects with

drives = (crickit.drive_1, crickit.drive_2, crickit.drive_3, crickit.drive_4)

Then we can access the individual using drives[0].fraction = 0.5 or iterate through them as we do in the loop. You

don't

have

to do it this way, but its very compact and doesn't take a lot of code lines to create all 4 drives at once!

import time

from adafruit_crickit import crickit

print("4 Drive demo!")

drives = (crickit.drive_1, crickit.drive_2, crickit.drive_3, crickit.drive_4)

for drive in drives:

drive.frequency = 1000

while True:

for drive in drives:

print("Drive #", drives.index(drive)+1)

drive.fraction = 1.0 # all the way on

time.sleep(0.25)

drive.fraction = 0.0 # all the way off

time.sleep(0.25)

# and repeat!
