Class MSC

java.lang.Object
  lejos.nxt.I2CSensor
      lejos.nxt.addon.MSC

All Implemented Interfaces:

SensorConstants

public class MSC
extends I2CSensor

This class has been designed to manage the device MSC8, Mindsensors NXT Servo which manages up to 8 RC Servos. For example, do: msc.servo1.setAngle(angle) to set the angle of the servo at location 1. Many thanks to Luis Bunuel (bunuel66@hotmail.com) in Testing process
