edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Counter

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.GearTooth

All Implemented Interfaces:

CounterBase, LiveWindowSendable, PIDSource, Sendable

public class GearTooth
extends Counter

Alias for counter class. Implement the gear tooth sensor supplied by FIRST. Currently there is no reverse sensing on the gear tooth sensor, but in future versions we might implement the necessary timing in the FPGA to sense direction.

Constructor Detail

GearTooth

public GearTooth(int channel)

Construct a GearTooth sensor given a channel.

No direction sensing is assumed.

Parameters:

channel - The GPIO channel that the sensor is connected to.

GearTooth

public GearTooth(int channel,
                 boolean directionSensitive)

Construct a GearTooth sensor given a channel.

Parameters:

channel - The DIO channel that the sensor is connected to. 0-9 are on-board, 10-25 are on the MXP port

directionSensitive - True to enable the pulse length decoding in hardware to specify count direction.

GearTooth

public GearTooth(DigitalSource source,
                 boolean directionSensitive)

Construct a GearTooth sensor given a digital input. This should be used when sharing digital inputs.

Parameters:

source - An existing DigitalSource object (such as a DigitalInput)

directionSensitive - True to enable the pulse length decoding in hardware to specify count direction.

GearTooth

public GearTooth(DigitalSource source)

Construct a GearTooth sensor given a digital input. This should be used when sharing digial inputs.

No direction sensing is assumed.

Parameters:

source - An object that fully descibes the input that the sensor is connected to.

Method Detail

enableDirectionSensing

public void enableDirectionSensing(boolean directionSensitive)

Common code called by the constructors.

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

Overrides:

getSmartDashboardType in class Counter

Returns:

The type of this Sendable.
