clear Counts

Set all counters for the motor back to zero.

motors.largeA.clearCounts()

The counters for a motor are: tacho, angle, and speed. Each of these counters is set to start counting from 0 again. This is a way to begin new counts without having to reset the motor.

Example

See if the motor turns the same number of times for each of two count periods. Run the motor connected to port A twice for 10 seconds and compare the tacho counts.

let tachoCount = 0;
motors.largeA.reset()
motors.largeA.run(50)
pause(10000)
tachoCount = motors.largeA.angle()
motors.largeA.clearCounts()
motors.largeA.run(50)
pause(10000)
if (tachoCount == motors.largeA.angle()) {
    brick.showString("Motor turns equal.", 1)
} else {
    brick.showString("Motor turns NOT equal.", 1)
}
motors.largeA.stop()
