Voltage Control in VEX IQ?

[61466B]

While I was coding for vex IQ gen 2, I went to use the spin(direction, voltage, voltage_units) command that I use for the V5 system and realized that it wasn’t working, but it would work if I used percentages or no velocity. I can provide the code, but is voltage control supported in Vex IQ? (I use VSCode if that helps).

Here is the motor class per RobotMesh Python API.

Why would this even be relevant ? RobotMesh does not support IQ Generation 2 (not to mention has also reached end of life for all VEX products).

IQ motors do not support voltage control.

I deleted my post due to its error. Where is the documentation of what makes up each class for vex IQ gen 2? Or is the internal documentation all that is available?

Thanks for correcting me.

Great, thank you for answering my question. I know that percentage tries to regulate the speed of the motors, and I’m trying to implement a PID, is there a better way to control the motors for a use case like this?

nope. IQ. motors only have one way of being controlled.
