SICS motor handling

- In SICS each motor is an object with a name. Motors may take commands which basically come in the form motorname command . Most of these commands deal with the plethora of parameters which are associated with each motor. The syntax for manipulating variables is, again, simple. Motorname parametername will print the current value of the variable. Motorname parametername newval will set the parameter to the new value specified. A list of all parameters and their meanings is given below. The general principle behind this is that the actual (hardware) motor is kept as stupid as possible and all the intracacies of motor control are dealt with in software. Besides the parameter commands any motor understands these basic commands:
