SetHeadMotor(Single)

Tell Vector’s head motor to move with a certain speed. Positive speed for up, negative speed for down. To unlock the head track call with speed of zero (0).

public Task<StatusCode> SetHeadMotor(float speed)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Single	speed	Motor speed for Vector’s head, measured in radians per second.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<StatusCode>	A task that represents the asynchronous operation; the task result contains the result from the robot.

Remarks

Requires behavior control; see RequestControl(Int32).

public Task<StatusCode> SetLiftMotor(float speed)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Single	speed	Motor speed for Vector’s lift, measured in radians per second.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<StatusCode>	A task that represents the asynchronous operation; the task result contains the result from the robot.

Remarks

Requires behavior control; see RequestControl(Int32).

SetWheelMotors(Single, Single, Single, Single)

Tell Vector to move his wheels / treads at a given speed. The wheels will continue to move at that speed until commanded to drive at a new speed. To unlock the wheel track set all speeds to zero (0).

public Task<StatusCode> SetWheelMotors(float leftWheelSpeed, float rightWheelSpeed, float leftWheelAccel = 0F, float rightWheelAccel = 0F)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Single	leftWheelSpeed	Speed of the left tread (in millimeters per second)
Single	rightWheelSpeed	Speed of the right tread (in millimeters per second)
Single	leftWheelAccel	Acceleration of left tread (in millimeters per second squared)
Single	rightWheelAccel	Acceleration of right tread (in millimeters per second squared)

Returns

Type	Description
Task<StatusCode>	A task that represents the asynchronous operation; the task result contains the result from the robot.

Remarks

Requires behavior control; see RequestControl(Int32).

StopAllMotors()

Tell Vector to stop all motors.

public Task<StatusCode> StopAllMotors()

Returns

Type	Description
Task<StatusCode>	A task that represents the asynchronous operation; the task result contains the result from the robot.

Remarks

Requires behavior control; see RequestControl(Int32).
