MotorPair - motors not starting at same time

[chrisruk]

See https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2012025 for more information

Also see for possible solution https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/python-build-hat/tree/motorset/buildhat , might need to look at firmware

Working on refactoring Motor classes and reducing delay of motor commands

In firmware?

[chrisruk]

In the library at the moment, although there's an odd issue i'm running into, that may need a firmware change

The following for two blue+white (typeid 49) motors reduces the delay between each starting for me -

#!/usr/bin/python3
import time

from buildhat import MotorPair

motors = MotorPair('A', 'B')
motors._leftmotor.plimit(1.0)
motors._leftmotor.bias(0.4)
motors._rightmotor.plimit(1.0)
motors._rightmotor.bias(0.4)

motors.start(-30, -30)
time.sleep(5)
motors.stop()

motors.start(30, 30)
time.sleep(5)
motors.stop()

I tried the plimit and bias methods, but I am still struggling with it. Do you know when this will be fixed? Thanks!
