Patent attributes
A power tool and method for recording and playing back a motor parameter. The power tool includes housing, a motor, a trigger, a mode selector switch, and a controller. The trigger outputs an activation signal based on a user input. The mode selector switch is configured to receive a user mode selection indicating a recording mode, a normal operating mode, or a playback mode. The controller receives a mode selection signal from the mode selector switch indicating the selected mode. The controller enters the recording mode when the user mode selection indicates the recording mode, and records a motor parameter while the power tool is in the recording mode to generate a recorded motor parameter. In the playback mode, the controller operates the motor based on the recorded motor parameter upon receiving the activation signal from the trigger.
