Constructor Detail

Servo

public Servo(int channel)

Constructor that assumes the default digital module.

Parameters:

channel - The PWM channel on the digital module to which the servo is attached.

Servo

public Servo(int slot,
             int channel)

Constructor that specifies the digital module.

Parameters:

slot - The slot in the chassis that the digital module is plugged into.

channel - The PWM channel on the digital module to which the servo is attached.

Method Detail

set

public void set(double value)

Set the servo position. Servo values range from 0.0 to 1.0 corresponding to the range of full left to full right.

Parameters:

value - Position from 0.0 to 1.0.

get

public double get()

Get the servo position. Servo values range from 0.0 to 1.0 corresponding to the range of full left to full right.

Returns:

Position from 0.0 to 1.0.

setAngle

public void setAngle(double degrees)

Set the servo angle. Assume that the servo angle is linear with respect to the PWM value (big assumption, need to test). Servo angles that are out of the supported range of the servo simply "saturate" in that direction In other words, if the servo has a range of (X degrees to Y degrees) than angles of less than X result in an angle of X being set and angles of more than Y degrees result in an angle of Y being set.

Parameters:

degrees - The angle in degrees to set the servo.

getAngle

public double getAngle()

Get the servo angle. Assume that the servo angle is linear with respect to the PWM value (big assumption, need to test).

Returns:

The angle in degrees to which the servo is set.

getSmartDashboardType

public java.lang.String getSmartDashboardType()

Specified by:

getSmartDashboardType in interface Sendable

Overrides:

getSmartDashboardType in class PWM

Returns:

the string representation of the named data type that will be used by the smart dashboard for this sendable

initTable

public void initTable(ITable subtable)

Initializes a table for this sendable object.

Specified by:

initTable in interface Sendable

Overrides:

initTable in class PWM

Parameters:

subtable - The table to put the values in.

updateTable

public void updateTable()

Update the table for this sendable object with the latest values.

Specified by:

updateTable in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

updateTable in class PWM

startLiveWindowMode

public void startLiveWindowMode()

Start having this sendable object automatically respond to value changes reflect the value on the table.

Specified by:

startLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

startLiveWindowMode in class PWM

stopLiveWindowMode

public void stopLiveWindowMode()

Stop having this sendable object automatically respond to value changes.

Specified by:

stopLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

stopLiveWindowMode in class PWM
