#include <PULSE.h>
PULSE pulse;
void setup() {
pulse.PulseBegin();
}
void loop() {
pulse.setMotorPower(1,50);
delay(5000);
pulse.setMotorPower(1,-50);
delay(5000);
}
void setup() {
pulse.PulseBegin();
void loop() {
pulse.setMotorPower(1,50);
delay(5000);
pulse.setMotorPower(1,-50);
delay(5000);
Note: In the parentheses, (1,50) means Motor 1
will spin clockwise at a power of 50.
