Programming the duration of the motor's turns
In the Mindstorms application...
TIPS:
- Select the desired move block from the main section of the screen.
- Locate the Duration menu at the bottom left of the screen, just below the power menu and to the right of the direction menu.
- Use the drop-down menu to select either Degrees (based on the 360 degrees of a circle) or Rotations (with 1 being a complete 360 degree rotation).
- Set the Degrees to part, all or multiples of 360 degrees or set Rotations to the number of full turns desired.
TIPS:
- Degrees work best for less than a full rotation.
- Rotations work best for multiple spins.
- You can also manipulate the speed of the turns by adjusting the Power in the bottom menu just above the Duration section. The default setting is for 75% power.
