Motor Element
Use the motors to add circular movement, to create a pulley system, to build gears or to create a conveyor belt.
To add movement in experiments, use the two motors in the Plezmo kit. Program the motors to decide the direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and speed (fast or slow). Also, program the motors to rotate by a pre-decided amount of rotation.

Start / Stop Motor
# Start Motor with additional control settings for speed and direction
Motor.start(‘Motor’, MotorSpeed.SLOW, MotorDirection.CLOCKWISE)
Change Speed (RPM)
# Start Motor with settings for speed control in RPM as well as direction
Motor.startWithRPM(‘Motor’, 25, MotorDirection.CLOCKWISE)
Quarter rotation
# Start the motor with additional control over rotation coverage and direction
Motor.rotate(‘Motor’, MotorRotation.QUARTER, MotorDirection.CLOCKWISE)
