# Motor Messages

Motor messages affect a single motor.

***

## Motor Position

### /motor/{motor\_name}/position \[number]

**Read:** If no arguments are given, the current position of motor\_name is returned.

**Write:** If an argument is given, Spikemark will attempt to reset the motor\_name's position.

***

## Stop Motor

### /motor/{motor\_name}/stop

**Note:** Soft stops motor\_name.

***

## Reset Drive

### /motor/{motor\_name}/drive/reset

**Note:** Resets the drive of motor\_name.

***

## Spike Position

### /motor/{motor\_name}/spike/{spike\_name}/position \[number]

**Read:** If no arguments are given, then the position of spike\_name on motor\_name is returned.

**Write:** If an argument is given, Spikemark will attempt to set the position of spike\_name on motor\_name.

{% hint style="info" %}
This will update a spikes position which will affect every cue that uses the spike.
{% endhint %}

***

## Spike Factor

### /motor/{motor\_name}/spike/{spike\_name}/factor \[number]

**Read:** If no arguments are given, then the factor of spike\_name on motor\_name is returned.

**Write:** If an argument is given, Spikemark will attempt to set the factor of spike\_name on motor\_name.

{% hint style="info" %}
This will update a spikes factor which will affect every cue that uses the spike.
{% endhint %}

***

## Spike Offset

### /motor/{motor\_name}/spike/{spike\_name}/offset \[number]

**Read:** If no arguments are given, then the offset of spike\_name on motor\_name is returned.

**Write:** If an argument is given, Spikemark will attempt to set the offset of spike\_name on motor\_name.

{% hint style="info" %}
This will update a spikes offset which will affect every cue that uses the spike.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/spikemark-6/show-control/osc/input-triggers/osc-motor-messages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
