    • setDutyCycleInternal

      protected final void setDutyCycleInternal(double dutyCycle)
      Takes a duty cycle from -1 to 1 (the sign indicates direction), and outputs it in the microsecond format.
      Parameters:
      dutyCycle - The duty cycle between -1 and 1 (sign indicates direction).

    • getDutyCycleInternal

      protected final double getDutyCycleInternal()
      Gets the duty cycle from -1 to 1 (the sign indicates direction), from the currently set pulse time.
      Returns:
      motor controller duty cycle

    • setBoundsMicroseconds

      protected final void setBoundsMicroseconds(int maxPwm, int deadbandMaxPwm, int centerPwm, int deadbandMinPwm, int minPwm)
      Sets the bounds in microseconds for the controller.
      Parameters:
      maxPwm - maximum
      deadbandMaxPwm - deadband max
      centerPwm - center
      deadbandMinPwm - deadband min
