This is a strict subset of Motor, covering functionality of DC motors only. This is useful for motors without encoders, such as train motors.
It is inherited by Motor, which adds functionality that requires encoders.
Previously, we simplified the docs for initializing a motor. This commit also simplifies the docstrings for common motor methods, by leaving out details and optional arguments. Full details are still available on the dedicated motor page.
Instead, show shorter, simpler Motor docs platform-devices pages. For the moment, this just means deleting the advanced methods section from those pages, but we may choose to simplify further.
This change makes it easier to navigate the ev3devices/pupdevices pages because the motor sections aren't overly long.
Details will still be available on the Motor pages for those who wish to use the more advanced motor capabilities such as adjusting the PID settings.
Because this module describes devices that can be built into a hub or other device.
Since this design is now explicitly shown in
the docs as well, we don't need to hide this
module in the package.
