Parameters:

ms - the number of milliseconds to sleep.

blink

public static void blink(IBuddy iBuddy,
                         IBuddy.Color color,
                         long onTime,
                         long offTime,
                         int times)
                  throws IBuddyException

Makes the i-Buddy's head blink.

Parameters:

iBuddy - the IBuddy object.

color - the color to use.

onTime - the duration in milliseconds to wait after turning the head on.

offTime - the duration in milliseconds to wait after turning the head off.

times - number of times to blink.

Throws:

IBuddyException - in case of problem while sending the usb command.

nudge

public static void nudge(IBuddy iBuddy,
                         long delay,
                         int times)
                  throws IBuddyException

Makes the i-Buddy nudge (rotate left, then right).

Parameters:

iBuddy - the IBuddy object.

delay - the delay in milliseconds to use between rotating left and right.

times - the number of times to nudge.

Throws:

IBuddyException - in case of problem while sending the usb command.

flap

public static void flap(IBuddy iBuddy,
                        long delay,
                        int times)
                 throws IBuddyException

Makes the i-Buddy flap its wings (move up then down).

Parameters:

iBuddy - the IBuddy object.

delay - the delay in milliseconds to use between moving the wings up and down.

times - the number of times to flap.

Throws:

IBuddyException - in case of problem while sending the usb command.
