Library reference
void setM1Speed(int speed)- Set speed and direction for motor 1. Speed should be between -400 and 400. The motors brake at 0 speed. Positive speeds correspond to motor current flowing from M1A to M1B. Negative speeds correspond to motor current flowing from M1B to M1A.
void setM2Speed(int speed)- Set speed and direction for motor 2. Speed should be between -400 and 400. The motors brake at 0 speed. Positive speeds correspond to motor current flowing from M2A to M2B. Negative speeds correspond to motor current flowing from M2B to M2A.
void setSpeeds(int m1Speed, int m2Speed)- Set speed and direction for motor 1 and 2.
void flipM1(bool flip)- Flip the direction meaning of the speed passed to the setSpeeds function for motor 1. The default direction corresponds to flipM1(false) having been called.
void flipM2(bool flip)- Flip the direction meaning of the speed passed to the setSpeeds function for motor 2. The default direction corresponds to flipM2(false) having been called.
