angle
Get the current angle of the motor's rotation in degrees.
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 which is the current angle of rotation for the motor. The value returned is the number of degrees from
0to359.
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.
let motorAngle = 0;
motors.largeA.reset()
motors.largeA.setSpeed(45)
loops.pause(2000)
motors.largeA.stop()
motorAngle = motors.largeA.angle()
