      public ServoMotorHelper(com.pi4j.io.pwm.Pwm servoMotor)
      Constructs a new ServoMotorHelper.
      Parameters:
      servoMotor - A PWM interface to control the servo motor.

  • Method Details

    • enable

      public void enable()
      Enables the servo motor by setting an initial duty cycle and frequency. The servo motor remains disabled until this method is called.

    • disable

      public void disable()
      Disables the servo motor, effectively stopping any ongoing PWM signal.

    • setAngle

      public void setAngle(int angle)
      Sets the servo motor to a specific angle. This method calculates the necessary pulse width and duty cycle to achieve the specified angle.
      Parameters:
      angle - the target angle for the servo motor, between 0 and 180 degrees.

    • isEnabled

      public boolean isEnabled()
      Returns the current state of the servo motor.
      Returns:
      true if the servo motor is enabled, false otherwise.
