Motors ​

NextFTC has wrappers for your motors that add several useful features, such as power caching and encoder offsets. All motors implement the Controllable interface.

MotorEx ​

MotorEx is NextFTC's wrapper over a DcMotorEx. To create one, you can do one of the following:

kotlin
val myMotorEx = MotorEx("motor_name")
val myMotorEx2 = MotorEx(myDcMotorEx) // where myDcMotorEx is a DcMotorEx

MotorGroup ​

MotorGroup is a container for multiple MotorEx that are mechanically linked. The first motor passed to it is the "leader" and the rest are "followers." The leader is the one whose encoder will be read.

As MotorGroup implements Controllable, it can be passed anywhere you would normally pass a MotorEx. Creating a MotorGroup is easy:

kotlin
val myMotorEx = MotorEx("motor1")
val myMotorEx2 = MotorEx("motor2")
val myMotorGroup = MotorGroup(myMotorEx, myMotorEx2)

NOTE

See the controllables reference for more information.
