Lynx Module

The Lynx Module is an object that represents the Control Hub and Expansion Hub. One Lynx Module object is created per connected hub.

General Explanation

Obtaining Lynx Module Object

A list of connected Lynx Module objects can be obtained using hardwareMap.getAll(LynxModule.class);. The Control Hub or the Expansion Hub connected to the phone via USB will have isMaster() set to true, and the hub connected over RS-485 will have it set to false.

LED

The REV hub’s LED can be set using setConstant() or setPattern(). setConstant() sets a constant color to the LED, and setPattern() allows the user to define a pattern of colors for the REV hub to follow.

Power

The total amount of current that the REV hub is pulling can be measured using getCurrent(). This is the current pull of the 12V input in the specified units, so it includes everything connected to the hub as well as the hub itself. In addition, the input voltage to the expansion hub can be measured using getInputVoltage(), which returns the battery voltage in the specified units.

Bulk Reads

Bulk reads can also be managed through the lynx module object. See Bulk Reads for more information on this.
