# Incremental Spike

Incremental Spikes move the motor a specific distance away from the current location. Put another way:

$$NewPosition = CurrentMotorPosition + Offset$$

Incremental spikes are denoted with a `+` (plus sign) and only use an **Offset.** This value can be either a positive number, or a negative number, depending on the direction you want to move.

You do not need a Value or a Factor. These input fields will remain greyed out, and cannot be edited.

### Changing the Type

To change the type double click in the **Type** column and select **Incremental** then press `enter` or `tab` to save it.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/spikemark/spikes/incremental.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
