How to use the setVelocity command

Hi I’ve been messing around with text programing and I cant figure out how to make my motors spin quicker like when your trying to program a puncher and want it to shoot faster

In python, I believe it would be “Motor.set_velocity(90)”. Replace Motor with the actual defined name and 90 with whatever speed. For c++ it is Motor.setVelocity(50, velocityUnits::pct);

You can mess around with it some, for example using volts instead of pct.

Just avoid using setVelocity, combine everything into the spin command.

Ok, last one I can think of for today. motor setVelocity is evil… consider this code. void autonomous( void ) { m1.setVelocity( 100, percent ); this_thread::sleep_for(1000); m1.spin( reverse ); } /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ void usercontrol( void ) { m1.setVelocity( 0, percent ); m1.spin( forward ); while (true) { m1.setVelocity( Controller.Axis1.position(), percent ); this_thread::sleep_for(10); …
