nxt-python seems to misusing the work "tachometer' #66

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Maybe I'm missing something but:

A tachometer normally tells you the rotational velocity of a motor. While the 
current position of the motor (shaft) is usually something like "shaft_encoder" 
value.

It seems that this app is misusing the term tachometer.

I wanted to test if the motor was turning so I checked tacho() and got a 
position, not a rotational velocity.

(Feedback intended to be supportive, as this package is great for interacting 
with NXT via python.)
