// Runs the motor at the given port.
// The meaning of `speed` parameter depends on whether the regulation mode is turned on or off.
//
// When the regulation mode is off (by default) `speed` ranges from -100 to 100 and
// it's absolute value indicates the percent of motor's power usage. It can be roughly interpreted as
// a motor speed, but deepending on the environment, the actual speed of the motor
// may be lower than the target speed.
//
// When the regulation mode is on (has to be enabled by EnableRegulationMode function) the motor
// driver attempts to keep the motor speed at the `speed` value you've specified
// which ranges from about -1000 to 1000. The actual range depends on the type of the motor - see ev3dev docs.
//
// Negative values indicate reverse motion regardless of the regulation mode.
