==Getting Started==

===Checking the Contents===
{{UGbox|
'''You should have received:'''
* A PhidgetMotorControl HC board
* A Mini-USB Cable
|
'''In order to test your new Phidget you will also need:'''
* A DC Motor
* A 6 to 15V DC Power Supply (If you use the barrel jack, make sure your power supply has '''center positive''' polarity)

||}}

===Connecting the Pieces===
{{UGbox|
# Connect the motor to the PhidgetMotorControl board.
# Connect the power supply to the terminal block on the PhidgetMotorControl board.
# Connect the PhidgetMotorControl board to your PC using the USB cable.

===Running Phidgets Sample Program===

{{UGwin2|'''MotorControl-full'''}}

{{UGbox|
Double Click on the [[File:Ph.jpg|link=]] icon to activate the Phidget Control Panel and make sure that '''Phidget High Current Motor Controller 2-motor''' is properly attached to your PC.
|[[File:1064_1_Control_Panel_Screen.jpg|400px|link=]]
|
#Double Click on '''Phidget High Current Motor Controller 2-motor''' in the Phidget Control Panel to bring up MotorControl-full and check that the box labelled Attached contains the word True.
# Select the connected motor. If you have connected your motor at the same place as the one in the picture on page 3, it should be at position 0.
# Move the position slider to set the maximum velocity. The maximum velocity is shown in the Maximum Velocity box, and the current motor velocity in the box above.
# Change the acceleration by moving the slider. The value is displayed in the Acceleration box.
# The electrical current flowing through the motor is displayed in the Current box.

===Functions===

{{UGapi|int MotorCount() [get] : Constant <nowiki>=</nowiki> 2
|Returns the number of Motors that can be controlled by this PhidgetMotorControl.
}}

{{UGapi|double Velocity (int MotorIndex) [get,set]
|Velocity is the percentage of time the motor is being powered for. The PhidgetMotorControl rapidly switches power to the motor on/off. Velocity can be set between –100 and +100. –100 corresponds to the motor being driven 100% of the time in reverse, +100 driven 100% of the time forward. 0 is off.
}}

{{UGapi|double Acceleration (int MotorIndex) [get,set]
|Returns how fast a motor will be accelerated between given velocities. The valid range is between AccelerationMax and AccelerationMin. This parameter is currently measured in percent, where 100% is the fastest velocity ramping available.
}}

{{UGapi|double AccelerationMax (int MotorIndex) [get] : Constant
|Returns the maximum acceleration that a motor will accept, or return.
}}

{{UGapi|double AccelerationMin (int MotorIndex) [get] : Constant
|Returns the minimum acceleration that a motor will accept, or return.
}}

{{UGapi|double Current (int MotorIndex) [get] : Amps
|Returns the current being consumed by a motor.
}}

===Events===
{{UGapi|OnMotorChange(int MotorIndex, double Velocity) [event]
|An event issued when the velocity a motor is being driven at changes.
}}

{{UGapiOnCurrentChange(int MotorIndex, double Current) [event]
|An event issued when the current being conusmed by a motor changes.
}}
