Turn off slew rate for Smart Motor Library

[jell0]

Is there a way to turn slew rate on and off for my motors in jpearman’s Smart Motor Library?

[jpearman]

Call the SmartMotorSetSlewRate function on the motor(s) you want to disable and set slew rate to 0, for example.

SmartMotorSetSlewRate( port1, 0 );

disables slew rate on the motor on port 1.

If you want a command value to be sent directly to a motor you can also do that with the setMotor function. This is the prototype.

void SetMotor( int index, int value = 0, bool immeadiate = false );

The immeadiate flag is used to bypass slew rate for this command, so

SetMotor( port1, 100, true );

will send control value of 100 directly to the motor and bypass slew rate control.

I see, thank you! Is there a document where I can view all the functions available in the Smart Motor Library?

[jpearman]

There’s some documentation in the github repo for the project, but it is not completely up to date.

GitHub - jpearman/smartMotorLib

but (even for me) the easiest way is just to look at the source code and the comments it includes.

jpearman/smartMotorLib/blob/master/SmartMotorLib.c

make sure you are using that (still old) latest version.
