The Servos class constructs a collection object containing multiple servo objects. Any method called on a Servos object will be called on each member of the Servos object with the same parameters.
Once instantiated, a Servos object is static. You may not push() additional Servo instances onto the array.

Parameters
numsOrObjects An array of pins, servo parameter objects and/or Servo objects:
Property Type Value/ Description Default Required numsOrObjects Array An element for each servo. Any valid servo parameters will work yes
Component Initialization
###With Pins
// Create three basic servos
//
new five.Servos([9, 10, 11]);
###With Objects
// Create two customized servos
//
new five.Servos([{
pin: 9,
center: true
}, {
pin: 10,
range: [20,140],
startAt: 20
}]);
Usage
Control all members simultaneously:
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();
board.on("ready", function() {
var servos = new five.Servos([9, 10]);
// Sweep all servos in the object from 0-180 and repeat.
servos.sweep();
});
Control a single servo in a Servos instance:
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();
board.on("ready", function() {
var servos = new five.Servos([9, 10]);
// Sweep the servo on pin 9 from 0-180 and repeat.
servos[0].sweep();
});
Using multiple controllers in a single Servos instance:
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();
board.on("ready", function() {
var servos = new five.Servos([
{ controller: "PCA9685", pin: 0 }, // Attached to an Adafruit PWM shield
{ pin: 10 } // Attached directly to the Arduino
]);
// Sweep both servos from 0-180 and repeat.
servos.sweep();
});
Using Servo objects in Servos:
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();
board.on("ready", function() {
var shoulder = new five.Servo(9);
var elbow = new five.Servo(10);
var joints = new five.Servos([shoulder, elbow]);
// move servos independently
elbow.to(20);
shoulder.to(180);
// Center all servos.
joints.center();
});
API
All methods and properties in the Servo API are available on Servo
Events
Events are emitted on the individual Servo objects so listeners must be attached there. See Servo events
