TIMESTAMPS: 00:30 → Connecting a Motor Master 04:21 → Adding a Motor channel

Motor channels are used to control DC motors in both directions, and vary their speed. They can only be used with the **Motor Master.**

You are able to vary the speed and change the direction as part of your **Update channel** actions.

Adding

1. In Channels click Add channel and select Motor.
2. Enter a name that you would like to call it.
3. You will be presented with the channel view.

Current Direction & Speed

• Current direction - the current state - ⬅, ➡️ and ⏹️. This is controlled by clicking on the directions.
• Current speed - a slider between 0 to 100% which can be manipulated to change the intensity of power and therefore the speed of the motor.
  • N.B. this feature is not intended as a way to lower the voltage of the output channel so you can run different voltage motors from the same Motor Master e.g. if you wanted to run a 12v motor from a Motor Master plugged into a 24v PSU. You risk permanent damage to your motors if used in this way
• These values will show the current status of a virtual channel (when testing) or physical channel when patched to hardware.
