PictoBlox Blocks

connect motor
This block initializes motor and assigns the motor its direction 1, direction 2 and PWM control pins.
The block takes the motor port, the direction of rotation (forward or reverse) and speed of rotation (between 0 to 100 %) as input from the user and rotates the motor accordingly.
The block free or locks the motor connected to the selected slot from evive, Arduino Uno, Mega & Nano.
The block sets the servo connected to the PWM pin to the specified angle between 0 to 180.
Set relay
The block set the relay connected to the specified digital pin to ON or OFF.
This block allows the user to control a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on a selected pin. The speed of the motor is adjustable, allowing the user to create the desired speed profile.
