# Programming Motor Telemetry

## Motors and Telemetry 

Recall that **telemetry** is the process of collecting and transmitting data. There is a lot of useful information our motors could send back to us, but to start let's have it output the power based on the joystick's movement. 

Similar to our servo program, let's add a new line of `telemetry.addData();`.

```java
while (opModeIsActive()) {
            test_motor.setPower(- this.gamepad1.left_stick_y);
            telemetry.addData();
            telemetry.addData("Status", "Running");
            telemetry.update();
        }
```

This time we are going to set our string as "Motor Power" and after our comma will use test\_motor.getPower()

```java
while (opModeIsActive()) {
            test_motor.setPower(- this.gamepad1.left_stick_y);
            telemetry.addData("Motor Power", test_motor.getPower());
            telemetry.addData("Status", "Running");
            telemetry.update();
        }
```

## Full Code:

```java
    @Override
public void runOpMode() {
        control_Hub = hardwareMap.get(Blinker.class, "Control Hub");
        test_motor = hardwareMap.get(DcMotor.class, "test_motor");
        test_servo = hardwareMap.get(Servo.class, "test_servo");
        test_touch = hardwareMap.get(TouchSensor.class, "test_touch");
        
        test_servo.setPosition(0);

        telemetry.addData("Status", "Initialized");
        telemetry.update();
        // Wait for the game to start (driver presses PLAY)
        waitForStart();

        // run until the end of the match (driver presses STOP)
        while (opModeIsActive()) {
            test_motor.setPower(-this.gamepad1.left_stick_y);
            telemetry.addData("Motor Power", test_motor.getPower());
            telemetry.addData("Status", "Running");
            telemetry.update();

        }
    }
```

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.revrobotics.com/duo-control/hello-robot-java/part-1/programming-motors/programming-motor-telemetry.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.
