Constructor Detail

BuiltInAccelerometer

public BuiltInAccelerometer(Accelerometer.Range range)

Constructor.

Parameters:

range - The range the accelerometer will measure

BuiltInAccelerometer

public BuiltInAccelerometer()

Constructor. The accelerometer will measure +/-8 g-forces

Method Detail

setRange

public void setRange(Accelerometer.Range range)

Description copied from interface: Accelerometer

Common interface for setting the measuring range of an accelerometer.

Specified by:

setRange in interface Accelerometer

Parameters:

range - The maximum acceleration, positive or negative, that the accelerometer will measure. Not all accelerometers support all ranges.

getX

public double getX()

The acceleration in the X axis.

Specified by:

getX in interface Accelerometer

Returns:

The acceleration of the roboRIO along the X axis in g-forces

getY

public double getY()

The acceleration in the Y axis.

Specified by:

getY in interface Accelerometer

Returns:

The acceleration of the roboRIO along the Y axis in g-forces

getZ

public double getZ()

The acceleration in the Z axis.

Specified by:

getZ in interface Accelerometer

Returns:

The acceleration of the roboRIO along the Z axis in g-forces

getSmartDashboardType

public java.lang.String getSmartDashboardType()

Description copied from interface: Sendable

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

Specified by:

getSmartDashboardType in interface Sendable

Returns:

The type of this Sendable.

initTable

public void initTable(ITable subtable)

Description copied from interface: Sendable

Initializes a table for this Sendable object.

Specified by:

initTable in interface Sendable

Parameters:

subtable - The table to put the values in.

updateTable

public void updateTable()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

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

Specified by:

updateTable in interface LiveWindowSendable

getTable

public ITable getTable()

Description copied from interface: Sendable

The table that is associated with this Sendable.

Specified by:

getTable in interface Sendable

Returns:

the table that is currently associated with the Sendable.

startLiveWindowMode

public void startLiveWindowMode()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

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

Specified by:

startLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable

stopLiveWindowMode

public void stopLiveWindowMode()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

Stop having this sendable object automatically respond to value changes.

Specified by:

stopLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable
