Motor

Overview and Key Concepts

Motors can be used to control whether the conveyor systems are on or off at a given time. The motor can also be used to sync dog gaps on a power and free chain loop when simulating a power and free conveyor system.

Currently the motor only supports being on or off, and starts the simulation on. To turn the motor off, call Object.stop(). Turning the motor off will stop all conveyors connected to the motor. To turn the motor back on, call Object.resume().
