is the set angle, get angle, or set position the same as set output for motor vi's

[Ian McShane]

if not, which one is?

[Greg McKaskle]

Looking at the diagram, Set Position on a servo ranges between 0 and 1, similar to Set Output for a motor. Set Angle is a wrapper around Set Position that maps the angle between 0 and 1 and calls Set Position. You can use either of them to update a servo to the location you want it.

None of the above. A motor (for the purposes of this competition) is controlled by setting its speed. A servo is controlled by setting it's angle. It will then move to this angle and hold that position as best it can until you issue a new command.

Each VI is different if you open it and look inside

Set Angle sets an angle for the servo in degrees. probably a range of [0,360), but depends on the servo

Get Angle returns the angle that the servo is currently at. probably range of [0,360)

Set Position sets the servo to a percentage of its maximum rotation [0.0,1.0]

These are only for servos, and will likely mess up with motors

Excellent that was what i needed to know, thanks
