- BoostMotor-class now has pendingPositionDestination, the rotation-equivalent of pendingTimeout, that stores a destination the motor should reach. When using setMotorPower() or setMotorDirection() while a motorOnForRotation()-block is running, a new motorOnForRotation()-command will be run for the remaining amount of degrees but with new power/direction, cancelling the old command.
- BoostMotor._status is only affected by feedback from the hub.
- setMotorPower() and setMotorDirection() no longer yields, since they just set state.
From design meeting regarding block design:
- Renamed all motors-label to ABCD.
- Added 'AB' motor label to address built-in motor pair.
- use the word direction in the setMotorDirection-block
- moved argument label in motor position reporter
- changed wording of color-sensing block.
- removed isTilted-boolean reporter
- removed changeLightHueBy-block
- fixed pingDevice-function bug.
-- Using a max-power setting of 100 rather than following the speed in the motor-commands will allow motors to run at really slow speeds.
-- As a result, motor-commands now use max-power of 100 regardless of speed and setMotorPower no longer scales according to a minimum speed of 20.
- BLE-rate enums consolidated into BoostBLE enum
Motors:
- motor position will now initially report 0 instead of false
- removed remaining motor position zeroing functions.
- removed startBraking().
- turnOn() and turnOnForDegrees() are now using an absolute max power as per the protocol documentation.
- the "turn for rotations"-block now accepts negative values.
-- turnOnForDegrees() accepts a direction to reflect the change above. The direction from the block is calculated against the motors current direction.
- commented EV3 tacho calculation code for motor positioning removed.
- Changed BoostMotorLabel to reflect actual motor block argument.
- startMotorPower() renamed to setMotorPower() since it doesn't start the motor.
- setMotorPower() will not start the motor.
- Max number of rotations for a motor-block is clamped to 100 rotations.
- 'Default' removed from BoostMotorLabel-enum as it wasn't used.
Sensors:
- removed remaining distance-related functions.
- color-reporters default value is now none rather than black.
- tilt-angles left and right switched to reflect the hubs orientation.
- Added BoostColorLabel-enum for color sensing block argument labels
- Regrouped blocks to be grouped by functionality, promoting color sensing
- Added 'any' to whenColor hat-block which triggers if the color sensor reports a value that is not none. Implemented an oldColor-value that allows the hat-block to trigger between color-changes, even if the sensor doesnt see 'none' in the meantime.
- Regroup blocks by functionality, i.e. motors, led, color-sensing, etc.
- Remove motor position zero-ing as concept and use MathUtil.wrapClamp to instead wrap everything around 360 degrees.
- WIP: "Set motor power to"-block should update motors that are currently running to emphasize principle that blocks have actions.
- Added IOs from documentation to BoostIO enumotor follows the speed set by Scratch and not the highest possible speed.
- Cleaned up line breaks in codebrake rather than float when stopping.
- Cleaned up documentationensors
- Deleted unused MOTOR_OUTPUT from BoostMode-enumbased on BoostMode-enum
- Set default-value for "set motor power to"-block to be all motors after feedback from @ericrosenbaum
- Implemented check in getMotorPosition() to see if motor is actually there before reporting position
This is a slight ergonomics improvement for faster benchmark loading.
We should be able to apply this to gui as well if it already does do
the same thing.
- Simplified generateOutputCommand() to follow the LEGO Wireless Protocol command-structure. Every output-command must have a portID, execution information, sub-command, and then followed by a custom payload which must be defined according to the protocol documentation mentioned in the extension.
- Simple motor commands now use the above subcommand-structure rather than the former primitive command structure.
- stopLED()-function removed since it's not used
- Implemented check of pendingPromiseFunction() for motors before firing.
- Added descriptions to BoostMode-enums
- Improved motor-position handling
- Added helper-functions for converting to/from motor position values
- Added default value to BoostMotor._pendingPromiseFunction
- Added changeLedColorBy-block
- Only motors will now try to resolve motor-promises
- Changed motor position wording from 'zero' to 'reset'
- Modified tilt-thresholds to improve tilt-handling
