pitsco TETRIX PULSE User Manual

When the program is running, you will see a green light by the motor cord when
the motor is going backward, or counterclockwise. Within the sketch, this motor
direction is represented by a negative value (Figure 33).
Practice changing the parameters in the sketch. You can change the motor power,
motor direction, stopping behavior, and delay between actions. Observe the effect
these changes have on the motor.
Extension Activity
With the example as a reference, try creating a new sketch using your DC motor
and LEDs on the controller. Remember what you learned from your first activity and
come up with a creative way to include blinking LEDs with your rotating motor.
