Xlj fast

xlj_fast_xyz(orientation='horizontal', scale=0.1)

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
orientation

set orientation to change the x and y axis. horizontal by default use only 'horizontal' of 'vertical'

'horizontal'
scale

starting scale for the step size

0.1
Operations

Base function to control motors with the arrow keys.

With three motors, you can use the right and left arrow keys to move right and left, up and down arrow keys to move up and down, and Shift+up and shift+down to move z in and out

The scale for the tweak can be doubled by pressing + and halved by pressing -. Shift+right and shift+left can also be used, and the up and down keys will also adjust the scaling in one motor mode. The starting scale can be set with the keyword argument scale.

Ctrl+c will stop an ongoing move during a tweak without exiting the tweak. Both q and ctrl+c will quit the tweak between moves.
