7 years ago The constants provided are intended to allow easy access to port names on some of the platforms; I haven't worked with the BrickPi (or, really, any platform but EV3) so I never got around to adding constants for it. Instead, you can use the port names for your platform directly as strings by doing new ev3dev.Motor('ttyAMA0:M1'), for example. It seems like you've already found the motor port names, but for reference they're available here: http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/platform-comparison/

I am using a raspberry pi 2 along with a brickpi+ and mindstorms ev3. Since the port address on the brickpi+ for motors is not OUTPUT_A or B or C or D, what is it? I tried TTYAMA0_M1, but it is giving me error that the stop command is not supported by the device. My code is:
var ev3dev = require('ev3dev-lang');
var motor = new ev3dev.Motor(ev3dev.TTYAMA0_M1); if(!motor.connected) { console.error("No motor was found on port A. Please connect a tacho motor"); process.exit(1); }
motor.runForDistance(360 * 10, 500, motor.stopActionValues.brake);
console.log("Running the motor for 180 tacho counts...");
// Prevent Node from exiting until motor is done var cancellationToken = setInterval(function() { if(!motor.isRunning) clearInterval(cancellationToken); }, 200);
