The Unregulated Motor Block controls both the Medium Motor and the Large Motor. You can turn a motor on and control its power level.

CHOOSE YOUR MOTOR PORT

Port selector

Inputs

Select the motor (A, B, C, or D) that you want the Unregulated Motor block to control by using the Port Selector on the top of the block.

Modes

Unregulated Motor

The Unregulated Motor block does not include automatic motor control, like the normal Medium Motor block and the Large Motor block. This means that no automatic regulation on motor power will be included. The specified Power input is what is used to control the motor.

You can control the speed and direction of the motor using the Power input. The motor will run until it is stopped or changed by a Medium Motor block or a Large Motor block later in the program or until the program ends.

Inputs used: Power

Tips and Tricks

Power Control will compensate for any resistance or slippage that the motor encounters. Power control will also try to compensate for battery levels, when possible.

Example

In this program, the motor will run with a power level of 50% until a touch sensor is pressed, and then it is stopped.

Inputs

The input of the Unregulated Motor block sets the power level of a motor. You can enter the input value directly into the block. Alternatively, the value can be supplied by Data Wire from the output of other Programming Blocks.
