Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def mindsensors.PFMATE.__init__	(		self,
			pfmate_address = PFMATE_ADDRESS
	)

Initialize the class with the i2c address of your PFMate.

Parameters

self	The object pointer.
pfmate_address	Address of your PFMate.

Member Function Documentation

def mindsensors.PFMATE.command	(		self,
			cmd
	)

Writes a specified command on the command register of the PFMate.

Parameters

self	The object pointer.
cmd	The command you wish the PFMate to execute.

def mindsensors.PFMATE.controlBothMotors	(		self,
			channel,
			operationA,
			speedA,
			operationB,
			speedB
	)

Controls both motors.

Parameters

self	The object pointer.
channel	Communication channel to transmit to LEGO PF IR receiver (1-4).
operationA	Operation command for motor A (0 = Float, 1 = Forward, 2 = Reverse, 3 = Brake).
speedA	Speed of motor A (0-7).
operationB	Operation command for motor B (0 = Float, 1 = Forward, 2 = Reverse, 3 = Brake).
speedB	Speed of motor B (0-7).
