start

Start DC motor connected to MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier

Since R2020a

Syntax

start(dcmObj)

start(dcmObj) starts the DC motor. If the motor speed is set 0, the DC motor will not rotate.

Create a connection to the Nano Motor Carrier.

arduinoObj = arduino('/dev/ttyACM0','Nano33IoT','Libraries','MotorCarrier');
mcObj = motorCarrier(arduinoObj);

Create a connection to the DC motor M1.

dcmObj = dcmotor(mcObj,'M1')

dcmObj = 
  DCMotor with properties:

    MotorNumber: 'M1'
        Running: 0              
          Speed: 0

Change the speed to 0.2, start the DC motor, and display the motor object.

dcmObj.Speed = 0.2;
start(dcmObj);
dcmObj

dcmObj = 
  DCMotor with properties:

    MotorNumber: 'M1'
        Running: 1              
          Speed: 2.000000e-01

Connection to the DC Motor on MKR Motor Carrier or Nano Motor Carrier, specified as an object.

Introduced in R2020a
