Summary
Hinges are devices used for creating turning, sliding and opening mechanisms such as doors, hatches and sliding doors.
Basic information
Hinges are commonly interacted with by controlling it via a button or YOLOL script.
A hinge's DoorOpenState-field can be connected to a button.
The button can be then used to remotely open or close the hinge.

Device fields
To learn more about how to use fields, consult these wiki pages:
| YOLOL field | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| DoorOpenState | Input field for requested door state. 0 is closed, 1 is fully open. | [0,1] |
| DoorCurrentState | Reports the current position of the door, on the same scale as DoorOpenState | [0,1] |
| EndRotation / EndPosition | The rotation/position the joint should be at when DoorOpenState is 1. Is measured in percents(%) relative to the maximum possible open state for prismatic joints, and degrees in hinge joints. | |
| StartRotation / StartPosition | The rotation/position the joint should be at when DoorOpenState is 0. Is measured in percents(%) relative to the maximum possible open state for prismatic joints, and degrees in hinge joints. | |
| TargetVelocity | The maximum velocity the joint will reach. Different joint devices have different velocity limits, and might not be able to reach the configured velocity. |
