How to control relays

[Parthenon]

I have gotten to a point where I need to control relays, however, I cannot find documentation in the C++/C Programming guide on how to do so. To my understanding, in order to make the relay move the forward, you would have to use relay1.Set(relay1.kForward); I try this, but it doesnt move forward =(

You should be able to do it like this:

relay1.Set(Relay::kForward);

To later turn it off:

relay1.Set(Relay::kOff);

Try

relay1.Set(Relay::kForward);

instead. The thing before the double colon :: and the kForward constant isn't an object. It's a "namespace", in this case saying you want to use the named constant from the group of things associated with the Relay class.

if the relay is a *pointer then you'd use this

relay1->Set(Relay::kReverse);
