# angle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the current angle of the motor's rotation in degrees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sig
|
||
|
|
motors.largeA.angle()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a motor is started for the first time, or after a reset, it's angle of rotation starts at `0` degrees. A complete rotation (a turn in a full circle) is `360` degrees. At `360` degrees, the motor angle gets set back to `0`. So, one and a half turns adds up to `540` degrees of total rotation but the motor only cares about the current angle from `0` degrees which is `180` degrees.

|
## Returns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a [number](/types/number) which is the current angle of rotation for the motor. The value returned is the number of degrees from `0` to `359`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reset the motor connected to port **A** and run it for for 2 seconds at a speed of `45`. Stop and get the current angle of rotation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```blocks
|
||
|
|
let motorAngle = 0;
|
||
|
|
motors.largeA.reset()
|
||
|
|
motors.largeA.setSpeed(45)
|
||
|
|
loops.pause(2000)
|
||
|
|
motors.largeA.stop()
|
||
|
|
motorAngle = motors.largeA.angle()
|
||
|
|
```
