Robot

motorsStop()

Description

Stop both motors of the robot.

Syntax

Robot.motorsStop()

Parameters

none

Returns

none

Examples

#include <ArduinoRobot.h>

void setup(){
  Robot.begin();
}
void loop(){
  Robot.motorsWrite(255,255); //Make the robot go forward, full speed
  delay(1000);
  Robot.motorsStop(); //Fast stop the robot
  delay(1000);
  Robot.motorsWrite(255,-255);//Make the robot rotate right, full speed
  delay(1000);
  Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Slow stop the robot
  delay(1000);
}
[Get Code]

Note

You can as well stop the motors by calling Robot.motorsWrite(0,0). Difference is, after the later is called, the motors may still move a little due to momentum(so called slow stop). Robot.motorsStop() will stop the motors and make them stiff, so stop instantly.
