To turn a distance of 5 turns, type...
MOVER=5
followed by the Enter key. Then type:
GO followed by the Enter key.
The keyword MOVER means “MOVE Relative”. In this example the motor will turn 5 units. If you have
followed all the previous examples, this means the motor will rotate five revolutions.
To change the speed, type...
SPEED=0.5 followed by the Enter key.
The motor will not turn, but the next time you use a MOVER command, the motor will now turn at half of
one revolution per second. To try it type:
MOVER=2
followed by the Enter key,
GO followed by the Enter key.
Combining commands on one line...
Commands can be combined on one line by separating them with colons. For example, type:
SPEED=2:MOVER=8:GO
followed by the Enter key.
The motor will immediately turn for 8 revolutions at a speed of 2 revolutions per second.
To learn more about using these commands and how to incorporate them into programs, see the Mint
v4 Programming Guide . Using the Mint programming language, sophisticated programs can be written
that control the motor, set outputs and, most importantly, respond to external inputs.
