                                                      Chapter 6  The Palm Robot Programmer (PRP)     139












                                    NOTE:   If you convert your program to TEA, the PRP, will automatically
                                    include three source files for you: aCore.tea, aA2D.tea, and aPPRK.tea. You
                                    need to use Include only for other BrainStem TEA files.
                                      Within Java programs, the Include block is used to tell the Java compiler
                                    which other classes your program uses. Classes are the binary form of Java
                                    code. You tell the compiler which other classes you are using in an import
                                    statement. The Include block is translated into an import statement in Java
                                    source files.

                                    The Servo Start Component  This component starts a given servo. Using
                                    properties, you can set the servo number from 0 to 4, the direction of the servo
                                    between forward (1) and backward (–1).










                                    The Servo Stop Component   This component stops a given servo. The servo
                                    number is set with a property and can range from 0 to 4.










                                    The Read Sensor Component    This component reads a sensor. The pro-
                                    perties are the sensor number (0 to 4) and the variable to store the sensor
                                    reading into.
