Class MSC

java.lang.Object

lejos.hardware.Device

lejos.hardware.sensor.BaseSensor

lejos.hardware.sensor.I2CSensor

lejos.hardware.device.MSC

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, SensorConstants, SensorMode, SensorModes, SampleProvider

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
