Your Turn – P13Clockwise.bs2
√
Modify the
PULSOUT
command’s
Pin
argument so that it makes the servo
connected to P13 turn counterclockwise.
Example Program: ServosP13CcwP12Cw.bs2
You can use two
PULSOUT
commands to make both servos turn at the same time. You
can also make them turn in opposite directions.
√
Enter, save, and run ServosP13CcwP12Cw.bs2.
√
Verify that the servo connected to P13 is turning full speed counterclockwise
while the one connected to P12 is turning full speed clockwise.

This will be important soon. Think about it: when the servos are mounted on either side
of the chassis, one will have to rotate clockwise while the other rotates counterclockwise
to make the Boe-Bot roll in a straight line. Does that seem odd? If you can’t picture it,
try this:
√
Hold your servos together back-to-back and re-run the program.
