control

public static void control(int aMode,
                           int bMode,
                           int cMode,
                           int aPower,
                           int bPower,
                           int cPower)

Sets motor direction for each motor to a value between 1 and 4 (1=forward, 2=backward, 3=stop, 4=float) and motor power to a value between 0 and 7

Parameters:

aMode - mode 1=forward, 2=backward, 3=stop, 4=float

bMode - mode 1=forward, 2=backward, 3=stop, 4=float

cMode - mode 1=forward, 2=backward, 3=stop, 4=float

aPower - power value in the range [0-7].

bPower - power value in the range [0-7].

cPower - power value in the range [0-7].
