41 - Buffered M1 Drive With Signed Speed And Distance

Drive M1 with a signed speed and distance value. The sign indicates which direction the motor

will run. The distance value is not signed. This command is buffered. This command is used to

control the top speed and total distance traveled by the motor. Each motor channel M1 and M2

have separate buffers. This command will execute immediately if no other command for that

channel is executing, otherwise the command will be buffered in the order it was sent. Any

buffered or executing command can be stopped when a new command is issued by setting the

Buffer argument. All values used are in quad pulses per second.

Send: [Address, 41, Speed(4 Bytes), Distance(4 Bytes), Buffer, CRC(2 bytes)]

Receive: [0xFF]

The Buffer argument can be set to a 1 or 0. If a value of 0 is used the command will be buffered

and executed in the order sent. If a value of 1 is used the current running command is stopped,

any other commands in the buffer are deleted and the new command is executed.

42 - Buffered M2 Drive With Signed Speed And Distance

Drive M2 with a speed and distance value. The sign indicates which direction the motor will run.

The distance value is not signed. This command is buffered. Each motor channel M1 and M2 have

separate buffers. This command will execute immediately if no other command for that channel

is executing, otherwise the command will be buffered in the order it was sent. Any buffered

or executing command can be stopped when a new command is issued by setting the Buffer

argument. All values used are in quad pulses per second.

Send: [Address, 42, Speed(4 Bytes), Distance(4 Bytes), Buffer, CRC(2 bytes)]

Receive: [0xFF]

The Buffer argument can be set to a 1 or 0. If a value of 0 is used the command will be buffered

and executed in the order sent. If a value of 1 is used the current running command is stopped,

any other commands in the buffer are deleted and the new command is executed.

43 - Buffered Drive M1 / M2 With Signed Speed And Distance

Drive M1 and M2 with a speed and distance value. The sign indicates which direction the motor

will run. The distance value is not signed. This command is buffered. Each motor channel M1

and M2 have separate buffers. This command will execute immediately if no other command for

that channel is executing, otherwise the command will be buffered in the order it was sent. Any

buffered or executing command can be stopped when a new command is issued by setting the

Buffer argument. All values used are in quad pulses per second.

Send: [Address, 43, SpeedM1(4 Bytes), DistanceM1(4 Bytes),

SpeedM2(4 Bytes), DistanceM2(4 Bytes), Buffer, CRC(2 bytes)]

Receive: [0xFF]

The Buffer argument can be set to a 1 or 0. If a value of 0 is used the command will be buffered

and executed in the order sent. If a value of 1 is used the current running command is stopped,

any other commands in the buffer are deleted and the new command is executed.
